Write simply.
To sum it up in one sentence, it can be recorded as follows: Qin literature (pre-Qin), Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song poetry, and Ming and Qing novels.
The ancient literature of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was dominated by prose, with some poetry also appearing.
Representative works of Confucianism: Spring and Autumn Period, Book of Songs, Shangshu, Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Rites, Music, etc.;
Representative works of Taoism: Tao Te Ching (Laozi), Nanhua Jing (Zhuangzi), Liezi etc.;
Qu Yuan's Chu Ci, such as Li Sao, Jiu Ge, etc.;
The Han Dynasty's Fu, Ce, Lun, Biao, as well as five character poems, Yuefu poems, etc. The more famous works include Luo Shen Fu, Guo Qin Lun, Chu Shi Biao, Sancao's poems (the turtle is long-lived, east to the sea, boiling beans and burning the bean skip, etc.), Han Yuefu poems (Mulan Ci, Peacock Flying Southeast, etc.).
The prose and poetry of the Tang Dynasty are relatively famous.
The eight great masters of prose writing in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan created a new era of prose. The more common stories such as Xiao Shitan Ji, Ma Shuo, etc. were all selected from previous middle school textbooks. Excellent chapter. Not to mention poetry, there are countless works by the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, Li Du, Xiao Li Du, Bai Juyi and so on.
In the Song Dynasty, there were also many literary works such as lyrics, poems, commentaries, essays and so on.
There is no need to distinguish between the bold and graceful schools of Song poetry. Su Dongpo's "Da Jiangdong Goes East", Liu Yong's "Yulin Ling", and Li Qingzhao's "Searching" are very popular.
The comments were compiled based on various comments in the market (called Wasiba at the time).
Poetry such as Wen Tianxiang's Crossing the Lingding Ocean.
Prose such as Yueyang Tower and so on.
The Ming and Qing Dynasties were dominated by novels.
The more famous ones are the Four Great Classics and Three Red Waters. Of course, there are many others, such as Feng Menglong's Sanyan, Ling Shuchu's Erpai, Jin Pingmei and Xu Zhonglin's The Romance of the Gods, as well as the novels about ghosts and monsters in the late Qing Dynasty, and the officialdom that reflects reality, etc.
There are also some famous poems of the Ming and Qing dynasties handed down from generation to generation, such as Yu Qian's Lime Song and many poems by Nalan Mingzhu.
There are too many famous works in the history of Chinese literature. What can be mentioned here is just a splash among the vast works.
In addition, there are countries such as Japan and India, which also fall into the category of what you call oriental literature. However, I am quite resistant to India and Japan, so I have not dabbled in this aspect.
