▲'''''Water Margin''''' (Traditional: 水滸傳 Simplified: 水浒传), also known as ''Outlaws of the Marsh'', is one of the "Four Great Classical Novels" of Chinese literature along with ''[[Journey to the West]]'', ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms (novel)|Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]'' and ''[[Dream of the Red Chamber]]''.
The novel was written during the 14th century, although it is clearly based on older folk stories. Authorship is traditionally attributed to two authors, Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, but modern scholarly opinion is that Shi Nai'an is simply a pen-name for Luo Guanzhong, who also wrote the definitive version of ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms''.
