Why did the original 6 masterpieces become 4 masterpieces? What s with?

Extraction code: tfa6 The folk saying about ancient masterpieces is not the current "four masterpieces", but the "six masterpieces". At that time, the six famous novels were "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "The Outer History of Confucianism" and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were six famous works, including "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai" and "The History of Confucianism", due to the establishment of New China, the idea of the early liberation was to break the feudal superstition, and it was obvious that Liao Zhai was deleted, and "The History of Confucianism" exposed all the darkness and sin of officialdom, and could not publicize the beauty of the original goodness of human nature, so it was also kicked out of the ranks of the four famous works.

In addition to the four famous works that we are familiar with, there are also two famous books, "The History of Confucianism" and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", which are listed as six famous works, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, these two books have not been accepted by the people in terms of content, that is, the market acceptance is insufficient, so they were deleted and became the four famous works today.

We all know that there are four masterpieces, but we don't know that they are actually six masterpieces, but six masterpieces became four masterpieces after liberation. The other two reasons for being eliminated may be their lack of market acceptance. Some problems with literature itself.

Now among the four famous novels, "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Dream of Red Mansions". Two are also familiar to everyone, one is Pu Songling's "Liaozhai Lu Gaodong Nian Zao Zhiwei", and the other is Wu Jingzi's "Confucianism and Foreign History".

The other two famous works are Liao Zhai Zhiyi and Confucianism, Confucianism was eliminated because of Wu Jingzi's life experience, and this book is full of satirical content; In this work, the main story of Yan Rang is the story of ghosts and foxes.

The reason why the six masterpieces have become the four masterpieces is due to the continuous passage of time and the passage of wisdom, which has led to a series of relative changes in value orientation; The other two are "The History of Confucianism" and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

Everyone knows the four great Chinese masterpieces, and they can also name these masterpieces. But there were many literary works in ancient China, some of which were also very good, and the four great masterpieces were the six great masterpieces at the beginning, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the other two were deleted. In fact, before these two books were deleted, they were also well-known masterpieces, namely "The Golden Plum Bottle" and "The Outer History of Confucianism".

The specific writing time of the book "Golden Vase Plum" is not recorded, and I don't know who the author is, and the plot in the book and the Water Margin also have a certain connection with the disturbance, the main content of which is to reveal some decadent deeds in the Ming Dynasty. This book describes a lot of human sophistication, but also describes a lot of human nature, whether it is placed in ancient or modern times, in fact, it is more applicable, so it is also known as "the first strange book of the ages". There are also famous scholars who say that the portrayal of human nature in "The Golden Vase of Plums" is staggering, but it makes people feel reasonable, and people make the best choice for themselves after thinking about it a few times.

And although this book has high practical significance, it still can't be selected into the ranks of famous books, because the scale of the portrayal of the characters in it is very large, if it is a teenager to read, there is no benefit and it is easy to be led astray, and you can't see the meaning behind the author. The book "The Outer History of Confucianism" was written by Wu Jingzi, which is a realistic work, which satirizes the social status quo at that time through the imperial examination, and also reveals the ugliness of human nature, which can be said to be straightforward. <>

The story in this book is very tortuous and very attractive, but many people just find it very interesting and wonderful after reading it, and they can't see the meaning behind the author, nor can they see the irony behind it. Because the criticism of this book is too strong, it is easy to put the cart before the horse. However, whether it is the six masterpieces or the four masterpieces, all of them are masterpieces left by the ancients, and they are all worthy of careful study, and they also benefit people a lot after reading, and there is no good or bad.

After unanimous discussion among experts and scholars at the time of extermination, it was believed that these two books were not conducive to correct values in the society at the time of the lack of cores, so they were not printed, and another reason for the inspection was that the paper was very expensive at that time, and it was also one of the reasons for the cost. "The Outer History of Confucianism" and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

When the founding of the People's Republic of China, the paper was very extravagant, and the financial resources at that time could not print the six famous books, after experts and scholars unanimously discussed Biliang, thinking that these two books were not conducive to the correct values in the society at that time, so it was decided to put the two books down for the time being, so far, the six famous books became the four famous books.

The other two books are "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and "The Outer History of Confucianism".

Mainly because there are too many bloody scenes in the other two famous novels, which are not suitable for children**. They are Confucianism and Confucianism.
