China and Four Great Classical Novels are both literary works, that is, novels. Why concentrated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties? Your question is very good. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the transitional period from the ancient feudal society in China to modern times, many new changes occurred in social politics, economy, culture and diplomacy, and the contradiction between the old and the new was extremely serious, especially the peasant uprising in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Thus, the idea of resisting the spirit and pursuing free personality liberation began to sprout. Look at the four classic novels, don't these ideas run through them?
The Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties before the Ming and Qing Dynasties were actually literary works, including Tang poetry, Song ci and Yuan Qu, and the number should far exceed that of novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Moreover, there was already a script in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the society was relatively stable during this period, and the feudal ruling class mainly devoted itself to political and economic development or border defense. Moreover, there are special historians in history books, and they are not idle. It can only be said that the forms of works in each era are different.
