Why were novels not valued in ancient China?

The reasons why scientific and technological classics were not valued in ancient China were as follows: 1. Cultural tradition: The ancient Chinese cultural tradition emphasized morality, philosophy, literature, etc., while scientific and technological masterpieces were usually regarded as a relatively abstract concept, which did not conform to the concept of traditional culture. 2. The lack of science and technology: The level of science and technology in ancient China was relatively low. The content described in scientific and technological masterpieces may not be fully practiced and applied, so it was difficult to be widely valued. 3. The lack of scientific education: The lack of scientific education in ancient China and the relatively weak foundation for cultivating scientific thoughts and practice made it difficult for scientific and technological masterpieces to be deeply disseminated and promoted in ancient China. 4. Social atmosphere: In ancient China, scientific and technological masterpieces may be regarded as a more profound and difficult to understand cultural phenomenon. They lack the general recognition and support of society for scientific and technological masterpieces. 5. Political factors: In ancient China, scientific and technological masterpieces may be affected by political factors. For example, scientific and technological masterpieces may be restricted from spreading or misunderstood as political-related content, thus being suppressed and restricted by politics.

In ancient China, the emphasis on population and agriculture was seen as a waste of family and social resources because the widow's husband's family had lost their labor force, and the widow's remarriage would redistribute the family's resources, including labor force and property. Therefore, ancient society usually advocated the stability of marriage and opposed widows remarrying.

There was indeed no such thing as a philosopher in ancient China because the development of ancient Chinese philosophy could be traced back to the ancient Chinese tradition of thinking, and philosophers were the concept of Western philosophy. The development of ancient Chinese philosophy can be traced back to ancient Chinese cultural traditions and thinking traditions, including Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and many other schools of thought. These schools of thought had a profound influence on ancient Chinese history and had a profound influence on ancient Chinese culture and thought. Most of the ancient Chinese philosophers were ideologists. They focused on practicality and solving practical problems instead of focusing on speculation and theoretical construction like Western philosophers. Therefore, the ancient Chinese philosophers were rarely classified as philosophers, but more often classified as philosophers or the representative figures of philosophers. The development of ancient Chinese philosophy was very different from the development of Western philosophy, so textbooks usually did not regard ancient China as the field of philosophers.

In ancient China, there were no children's literature works that were as widely circulated as they were now. In ancient China, literary works tended to focus on the thoughts and values of adults, while children's literature was rarely created and disseminated. This was because the educational philosophy and values of ancient Chinese society were very different from those of modern society. In ancient China, children were regarded as underage and had to receive strict education, including Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and many other schools of thought. Therefore, the creation and spread of children's literature were often greatly restricted. Secondly, ancient Chinese literature often existed in the form of traditional arts such as poetry, prose, opera, etc. These art forms often focused on expressing the thoughts and values of adults, while the creation of children's literature often required more flexible forms such as fables and fairy tales, which were not suitable for children to read. Finally, many of the ancient Chinese literary classics such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, and Water Margins were widely read after a long period of development and inheritance. In contrast, the creation and spread of children's literature were relatively few, and they lacked the cultural inheritance and historical value of these classic literary works.

They each told different stories, showed different characters and plots, and also reflected the social style and cultural characteristics of different eras.

The reason why Chinese novels had always been valued was complicated. On the one hand, Chinese literature had a long history and profound cultural heritage, with many excellent literary works such as "Dream of the Red Chamber","Journey to the West","Water Margins" and so on. These works not only reflected the life of ancient society, but also contained profound thoughts and philosophy. On the other hand, Chinese novels had always been in a backward position in the past mainly because the social system and cultural traditions at that time did not match the style and content of Chinese novels. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese novels began to be influenced by western literature, and the seeds of modern novels began to appear. However, it was not until the arrival of the modern literary revolution that Chinese novels gradually received attention and development. Chinese novels are valued because we have many excellent literary works, which have high artistic and cultural value. At the same time, with the change of times and the development of science and technology, we also need to re-examine and evaluate the Chinese novel to inject new vitality and vitality into it.
