The so-called"Masterworks"perspective refers to a prevalent interpretive approach during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.Its characteristic was to incorporate the themes of the"the Four Master-works of the Ming Novel"into the framework of Confucianism.The"Great Classical Novels"perspective,on the other hand,gradually gained popularity since the May Fourth Movement,characterized by interpreting the"the Four Great Classical Novels"through a"revolutionary"discourse.Both interpretive approaches have their own historical contexts and textual foundations,which can exert significant influence.However,they can-not be considered the ultimate and exclusive approach as they have the tendency to generalize based on partial viewpoints.The remedy to this problem is to cross-reference these two perspectives and to compare them,thereby avoiding the error of blindly interpreting the whole based on limited understanding.
