China's classic, full note, full translation: Historical Records (a set of 9 volumes), is it traditional?

If you mean Zhonghua Book Company Edition, the edition edited by Han, I can definitely say that it is a simplified edition.

Han is a professor at Shaanxi Normal University and an authoritative scholar in the study of China's historical records. Shaanxi Normal University is the research center of Historical Records in China. This book belongs to Zhonghua Book Company, and the version is still very good. If you don't mind the price, you might as well buy it. As for the content of the book, the following is a comment from a netizen for your reference:

China classic published by Zhonghua Book Company, fully annotated translation, very good. I bought several copies of Songs of the South, Mencius, Ancient Chinese Literature and Historical Records last year. Although the price is reasonable, the price of around 300 really bothers me. This time I met an activity and it was only 236, so I bought it without hesitation.

From the appearance, the volume is reasonable, the thickness is basically the same, and each volume is 8900 pages, which is very easy to read. The books in this series are firmly bound, with poor quality, particularly clear words and good paper.

In terms of content, each paragraph of the text has annotations and translations. The annotations are detailed and appropriate, both extended and not cumbersome, as well as uncommon words and phonetic notation. After reading the notes, you basically don't need to look at the translation. Translation is also very smooth. As for typos, I found a few typos in The Songs of the South. There are too many books in this set, which I find hard to avoid.

In short, I am very satisfied with this set of books and trust the ancient books of Zhonghua Book Company.
