Which version of Dream of Red Mansions is good?

If you look at the version alone, it is best to use Geng Chenben for the following reasons:

At present, Chen Geng's version is relatively complete, with only two chapters missing and many notes.

The 80th edition has not been tampered with by Gao E and Cheng Weiyuan.

At present, most school-based schools have collected JOE's Notes.

It was Cao Xueqin's last revision (the fourth time) and was not tampered with by Gao E.

The second is Jiaxu.

Xu Jiaben has chapter 16, which is seriously missing, but there are a lot of important notes.

At present, most school-based schools have collected JOE's Notes.

Jia Hushi thinks that this is the earliest version of A Dream of Red Mansions, which was revised by Cao Xueqin for the second time, and most of them can keep the author's original text.

Don't look at the two versions of Cheng Yiben and Cheng Jiaben:

Cheng Yiben and Cheng Jiaben are the follow-up versions of A Dream of Red Mansions by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, also known as Cheng Gaoben, which are block printing. There are 80 copies of A Dream of Red Mansions. Bookseller Cheng Weiyuan pulled Gao E to continue the book A Dream of Red Mansions. The purpose is to sell books. Let's talk about Cheng Jiaben first: The first 80 copies of Cheng Jiaben roughly kept the original appearance of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions, and then 40 copies were added. Cheng Yiben: Yes.

The landlord must not watch the sequel of elevation. The sequels of Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E are contrary to the foreshadowing of Cao Xueqin's first eighty chapters, and their writing is even worse. Some readers fainted after reading this book for the first time, and finally they didn't know what A Dream of Red Mansions was all about.

I can't tell you too much about Cheng Jiaben and Cheng Yiben. If there are countless mistakes in his content, just remember not to read Cheng Jiaben and Cheng Yiben. This is also easy to distinguish. The landlord didn't need the 120 version when he bought it.
