So does that mean the original novel’s rights belong to the Ming dynasty?

I don’t know beyond the article I just read and cited. I’m sure it changed in the republic. It says they started a new system in the 1920s then in the PRC in 1980s. I’m sure the answer is them no that family of the author does not own it.

That said if one was to use details specific to modern Chinese or English translations I’m sure that is copyrighted
