This question was related to a historical event in the history of Chinese literature, namely the process of the "Seven Famous Books" becoming the "Four Famous Books". At the beginning of the 20th century, the Chinese writer Lu Xun and others criticized the Chinese classical novels and proposed the concept of "Four Great Masterpieces", namely "Dream of the Red Chamber","Journey to the West","Water Margins" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This concept caused widespread discussion and controversy at the time. However, as time went on, people began to find that the "Four Great Masterpieces" were not enough to represent the highest level of Chinese classical novels, so they proposed the "Four Great Masterpieces", namely "The Scholars","Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio","Flowers in the Mirror" and "Miserable World". In the end, Miserable World, Flowers in the Mirror, and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio were considered to be more important works outside of the Four Great Masterpieces, while Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, and Water Margins became the Four Great Masterpieces. In this process, the reason why the "Four Great Classics" became "Four Great Classics" was mainly because they had a high influence at that time, were widely circulated and studied, and were regarded as one of the classics of Chinese literature.
