It has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Due to its geographical advantages, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jiangsu was the object and an important battlefield for hegemony. Therefore, it is bound to become a multicultural place from all directions. The North and the South are inclusive and multi-ethnic, and there are naturally many stories. Moreover, Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and Suzhou is famous for its talents. Therefore, when novels flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiangsu stood out and became a veritable hometown of novels.

Developed economy and solid foundation. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. As a land of plenty, Jiangsu has provided a strong economic foundation for cultural development. Therefore, it is no coincidence that all the authors in Four Great Classical Novels are related to Jiangsu. At any time, the economic base determines the superstructure, and literary creation is no exception. People who can write such excellent literary works in ancient times should have received a good education and a fairly high literary and artistic foundation, which determines that these great writers need to grow up, receive education and have the conditions in relatively developed areas.
