10 dramas or movies that refer to classic literature (written before 1900). They can either be retellings  or have a few scenes or plot elements that refer to or borrow from a classic. Poetry, prose, folk literature, theatre - they all count.

3. Water Margin - there are different adaptations of this classic ancient Chinese literature - one of the four classics of Chinese literature. I watched the 1998 and 2011 versions. 

4. Journey to the West - Adapted from another one of the four classics of Chinese literature.  There are a lot of adaptations of this legendary novel.

5. Mulan - legendary Chinese folk heroine. There are a lot of dramas and movies based on or inspired by her story.
