Many literary masters have formed a unique literary style and literary theory system under the accumulation of history. The works of these literary masters have become classics of Chinese literature. With the development of society, people's cultural needs and aesthetic concepts have changed, and the demand for literary works has also changed. Many readers pay more attention to plot, character description, and narrative than traditional literary topics and forms. 3. China's economy is developing rapidly. Many young people are pursuing practicality and utilitarians, unwilling to spend a lot of time and energy reading literary works. This has also led to the lack of many literary works and the reduction of literary talents. 4. The literary criticism and literary studies are also facing many problems, such as the unfair evaluation criteria of literary awards, the lack of professionalism and authority in literary studies, etc. These problems have also affected the development and progress of literature. To sum up, the reason why there were no more literary masters in China was that there were many reasons that needed to be analyzed and discussed from cultural, social, economic and other aspects.
