In what year was this book typeset with horizontal traditional Chinese characters? My family has a copy of Four Books and Five Classics, with horizontal layout and traditional characters. I don't know what year it is. Hello, according to your description, it is estimated that you should refer to the "traditional vertical edition". This kind of book is regardless of age. In order to preserve the "original flavor" of ancient books, China generally keeps the "traditional vertical version" of ancient books. The largest number of traditional vertical editions of ancient books in China are published by Zhonghua Book Company Press, and large books such as Twenty-four Historical Points, Four Ku Quanshu Points and Ancient and Modern Books Integration are printed in this way. If you want to know the publication date of the above "Four Books and Five Classics", you can check the publication date marked on the back cover, back cover or ring lining of the book. Without the above contents, you need to learn some basic knowledge of reading ancient books. For example, you can know how many books (editions) there are in China's Four Books and Five Classics, and then inquire about the publishing situation of these books in China, such as which book was printed in which year and the other book was printed in which year, and so on, and you can roughly infer the publishing time of the above series.
