Why did people always write novels about the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty and not about other dynasties?

Back then, Ming Yue was a person who focused on ancient Chinese history. In her book," Those Things About the Ming Dynasty," she used the Ming Dynasty as the background to explore the historical events, characters, and cultural background of the Ming Dynasty to show the readers a comprehensive, real, and vivid world of the Ming Dynasty. As the Ming Dynasty was a very important dynasty in Chinese history, its historical events and figures were widely praised and discussed, so the study and discussion of the Ming Dynasty gradually became a hot topic in Chinese academia and readers. Under such circumstances, Ming Yue might receive more attention because of the in-depth study of the Ming Dynasty, and she might also get more inspiration for writing because of the study of the Ming Dynasty. However, back then, Ming Yue might not be able to write a Ming Dynasty history book that had as much influence and depth as " Those Things in the Ming Dynasty " because of her in-depth research on the Ming Dynasty. This was because she might miss out on other important historical events or characters while delving into the history of other dynasties, or she might not be able to show the history of other dynasties in the same depth. Therefore, she might choose to focus on studying a dynasty and delve into the history of that dynasty to write a more comprehensive, in-depth, and influential history book.

There were many differences between the literature of the Ming Dynasty and that of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The main difference was the literary form and style. In terms of literary form, the Ming Dynasty literature paid more attention to expressing the thoughts, emotions and phenomena of the real society, while the Tang and Song Dynasties literature paid more attention to expressing the poet's world outlook, outlook on life and values.

The representative works of Tang and Song literature included 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems, which showed the poet's artistic cultivation, literary talent, and worldview.

The Yuan Dynasty was the period of development of novels, with the emergence of great novelists such as Guan Hanqing and Bai Pu. Their works such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Golden Lotus became monumental works in the history of Chinese literature. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, novels became the main form of literature, such as Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Dream of the Red Chamber, which became masterpieces in the history of Chinese literature.
