用英语讲好中国故事:四大名著


China has lots of stories, but four really stand out: Journey to the West, Outlaws of the Marsh, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Romance of Three Kingdoms. They are called The Four Great Classical Novels. Each tells a story as old as time, filled with adventures (冒险), wisdom, and deep emotions. 

Journey to the West takes us on a magical trip. Monkey King, a clever and famous character, helps his master Xuanzang, a monk, on his journey from China to central Asia and India, to get Buddhist scriptures (佛经). They face many challenges, but with courage and friendship, they succeed.
Outlaws of the Marsh speaks of 108 outlaws (草莽英雄). They team up to fight against mean rulers. They became like brothers, fighting for what’s right. Their bravery and friendship encourage us to stand up for what we believe in. 
Dream of the Red Chamber tells a story of love, family, and the passing of time. It is a beautiful but sad story about the Jia family’s ups and downs. It reminds us that money and power might not last, and that family and true love matter most. 
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about war and heroes. It’s about brave soldiers and smart leaders fighting for power during a time of chaos. The story teaches us about loyalty, strategy and the cost of ambition.
The Four Great Novels are treasures of Chinese culture. They teach us about life, love, and the human spirit. They are stories that have been told for centuries and will continue to be told for many more.
