The Bian Zhilin Translation Collection is divided into three volumes, with nearly 1.5 million words in total. The basic content was determined by the translator during his lifetime. Due to his consistently stringent standards, only translations he deemed satisfactory were included, making it not a complete collection of Bian's translations. However, as the translator always pursued excellence, there are very few subpar works, with 95% of his life's translations included. The Translation Collection can be considered a comprehensive summary of his translation career.
