New Edition Annotation (Volume 1 and 2)

Author: (Chinese) Liu Xiang, edited by Shi Guangying, annotated by Shi Guangying, organized by Chen Xin
Publisher:
Publishing Date: Not available
Features: The annotations are based on Song Dynasty editions, extensively collating various excellent manuscripts, incorporating and correcting previous annotations, and cross-referencing them with original materials, encyclopedias, and miscellaneous records. Additionally, the book provides extensive references and detailed explanations for the characters, history, institutional regulations, geographical names, and other terms mentioned. The current organization has undertaken the following work:
1. The manuscript adopts sentence and punctuation marks, with interlinear dots added. Annotations within the text are marked in double lines, and this format reflects modern printing conditions. Therefore, the Zhongxing Publishing House's printed version has removed the interlinear dots and placed annotations in single lines, using parentheses to indicate them.
2. Numerous errors in the printed version and obvious typographical mistakes or omissions in the manuscript have been corrected.
3. The ancient characters used in the original text not only make reading difficult for readers but also do not suit modern printing conditions.
4. At the end of each volume in the original manuscript, there are the four characters "Zhao Lin Jiao Zi," and occasionally, Zhao Lin's supplementary annotations or annotations are found in the annotations.
