Features: Most of the book adopts a literal translation to suit modern reading habits. In some places, it does not adhere strictly to a rigid translation of the original text but instead provides a certain degree of free translation while remaining faithful to the original author's intent and writing style. The book uses standardized simplified characters for typesetting. When simplified characters may cause ambiguity, traditional characters are used instead. In some cases, traditional characters are also used due to technical limitations in typesetting. Additionally, for respect for historical conventions and to maintain the reading context, some traditional characters are also employed. When dealing with sensitive issues related to ethnicity, borders, religion, foreign countries, etc., names in the original text that are discriminatory or insulting are replaced with current names as much as possible.
