Three Chinese *** were selected, namely Du Fu, Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun, ranking 27th and 67th respectively bits and 93 bits. There are not many Chinese writers selected and their rankings are not high. This is probably because the author believes that the development of Chinese literature is relatively isolated and has little impact on other countries around the world. But considering that China’s population accounts for 22% of the world’s population, and historically accounted for more than a quarter of the world’s population, people who have an important influence on China can be regarded as having an important impact on the world (Mike Hart’s words), I think China There are still too few people on the list. Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Su Shi, Guan Hanqing and others should also be eligible for inclusion. However, the three masters selected in this book, Du Fu, Cao Xueqin, and Lu Xun, are quite convincing. They can be regarded as representatives of Chinese classical poetry, novels, and new literature respectively.
