Which book do you recommend about Nalan Xingde?
The Annotation of Drinking Words published by Zhonghua Book Company has a long history and is rigorous, but it uses traditional Chinese characters. I wonder if it has been simplified now. There is also a version of Notes on Drinking Words published by Liaoning Education Publishing House. This version can be said to be the most rigorous and informative. It's an upgraded version and a revised version of Notes on Drinking Words published by Zhonghua Book Company, which is quite good! Read a long knowledge and let you have a deeper understanding of Nalan's words! However, this version rarely seems to survive (very popular). I haven't bought it online for a long time. What a pity! Next, I would like to introduce the third edition of Nalan Ci and Nalan Ci Annotations by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. However, Nalan's books in Shanghai and ancient times are all entertainment books. If you used to read ordinary books, you may not be used to reading entertainment books. Finally, sum up! Reading through this book, we can see Notes on Drinking Words published by Zhonghua Book Company and Notes on Drinking Words published by Liaoning Education Publishing House. Looking around the garden, you can see Nalan Ci and Notes on Nalan Ci published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. If you are proficient in ancient Chinese, you'd better go and see Tong Ji and Tong Ji Interpretation written by Nalan Xingde himself. Or you can read Nalan Ci (beautifully illustrated) if you have a family heirloom of four books. Of course, there are too many books about Nalan Ci, and my understanding is very limited. This is my advice to you. If there is a better book, I hope I can go to Baidu to read Nalan Xingde when I have time. There are many talented people there who may give you a better answer. Laugh and laugh ~
