《水浒传》、《西游记》、《三国演义》、《红楼梦》是我国老少皆知的四大古典名著。博览群书的毛泽东,更是与这几部书结下了不解之缘。伴随终身的《水浒传》在毛泽东读私塾的时代,《水浒传》还没被称为“古典名著”,相反,大约从明崇祯皇帝时起,它就一直被历代帝王列为“诲盗” Outlaws of the Marsh, Journey to the West, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Dream of Red Mansions are the four classic works known to all generations in China.
