We now have many relevant regulations, such as the right of authorship and copyright. I know you don’t know what these mean, so let’s just talk about the simplest and easiest to understand one.
You have read the textbooks I gave you, and should know what the four great classics are and what stories they roughly tell. Now let’s use Wu Chengen’s Journey to the West as an example. In fact, it is not clear who originally wrote Journey to the West, but we in later generations regard Wu Chengen as the original author.
So, if some merchants in all your dynasties want to print, sell and adapt the story of Journey to the West into books or perform it like we did in later generations.

Zhou Jia herself is a writer of online articles and a literary and artistic worker. Those who understand know that this thing is really important, so even in ancient times, Zhou Jia hopes that they can pay attention to it.

Zhou Jia smiled, but her voice was firm.
"These are your rules and laws, not ours. Why do you ask us to do this? Besides, the author of the Four Great Classics was already dead by then. Did you pay them? Did you authorize them?"
Soon someone discovered the loophole in Zhou Jia's words.
Works are created by people, but people will eventually die. So after they die, who should the money go to? Who should we ask for the authorization?
He's quite good at finding loopholes.
Zhou Jia thought.
