The masterpiece of historical romance "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" uses history as its structure. Chen Shou's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has laid the basic framework for it. The author narrates the story of the Three Kingdoms. There is me among you, and you among me. The story of one country is always intrinsically related to the other two countries. As Mao Zonggang said in "Reading the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "The book "Three Kingdoms" has great connections at the beginning and the end, and a key point in the middle." "From beginning to end, there is no place to break." This structural form is rare in Western historical novels, and researchers call it a braided structure. "Water Margin", a model of heroic legend, has a structural form, using Jin Shengtan's terminology, called "Luanjiao Xianxian method", that is, when describing the experience of one character, he meets another character who does not know each other on a specific occasion, thus eliciting the story. Another character's story. For example, Lu Zhishen pulled up a willow tree to lure out Lin Chong, and Song Jiang stumbled in Chai Rong's home to lure out Wu Song. The key to this kind of structure is to carefully conceive a specific occasion, so that the transition from one character story to another must be natural and clever. To use today's generalization, "Water Margin" has a interlocking structure: after the story of one or two or three heroes is narrated, it will naturally lead to the story of another one or two or three heroes, and the stories of the two or three heroes are interlocking, and finally the story of one or two heroes is narrated. Eight heroes gathered in Liangshan. Jin Shengtan summed it up well in "Reading the Calligraphy of the Fifth Talented Scholar": ""Water Margin" is clearly a biography when one person comes out. As for the deeds in the middle, they become their own text paragraph by paragraph." "Journey to the West", the leader of novels about gods and monsters, among others The plot consists of three parts: Sun Wukong's birth, learning and rebellion; the reason for learning Buddhist scriptures and the origin of Tang Monk; and the journey of Tang Monk and his disciples to learn from the West. Due to the limitations of the original theme of the story of Tang Monk's Journey to the West, "Journey to the West" adopts a single-line vertical structure. However, with his superb artistic skills, the author organically organizes the intricate and bizarre contents into a unified and complete huge structure, which people call a bead-chain structure. "Jin Ping Mei" is the pioneer of novels about human relationships, and its structural feature is to look at society, life and times through the lens of the family. As Zhang Zhupo pointed out in "The Reading Method of Jin Ping Mei": ""Jin Ping Mei" is written about Ximen Qing's family, so he writes about several families, such as Wu Da's family, Hua Zixu's family, Qiao Dahu's family, Chen Hong's family, Uncle Wu's family, Zhang The family of Wang Zhaoxuan, the family of Count Ying, the family of Zhou Shou, the family of He Qianhu, and the family of Xia Tixing... There are probably only a handful of officials and big families in Qinghe County, but one person wrote about the whole county." The main plot line of the masterpiece is the rise, fall and crime history of Ximen Qing's family, as well as the tragic fate of a group of women
