If it is a general hobby, you don't need to be too professional. Recommendation: The Warring States Policy (Volume 2 * * *) is a complete translation of China classics, translated by Miao, Luo and others. Press: Zhonghua Book Company; Publication date: 20 12 edition. Pricing: 79 yuan. Usually, the prices of major websites (such as Zhuo Yue and Dangdang) are between 60% and 70%, and they will be reduced to about 50% (but not less than 40%) on special days (such as Double Eleven, Double Twelve, and school season).
Features: Simplified Chinese, bilingual. It is convenient for people with poor classical Chinese foundation to read, and the definition of words is more accurate.
If it is a special professional demand (such as ancient history, philology, Chinese studies, ancient literature and other majors) or a fanatic of classical culture. Then I strongly recommend these two books:
Zhu's Notes on the Warring States Policy, published by Jiangsu Ancient Books Publishing House. Release date: July 1985, version 1. Features: traditional vertical arrangement, gathering various annotations plus Zhu's own annotations. It used to be an indispensable annotated version for scholars studying the Warring States policy. I only have this electronic version, but I don't have this book collection. Of course, it is not clear whether it can be bought in the market. In 2008, Phoenix Publishing House published a short version of Notes on the Warring States Policy at a price of 180 yuan, which should be between 120 and 150 yuan. But I don't like this version of Phoenix Publishing House. Maybe it's because of simplification. )
Notes on the Warring States Policy edited by Fan, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. Features: The traditional vertical arrangement also includes various notes. In addition, there are the author's textual research opinions. The differences between this book and the previous book are as follows: a, the notes cited are different (mostly the same); B, the author's own views must be partially different; C. The two authors mentioned different versions of the Warring States Policy. The annotations of this book should be read intensively, which is compulsory for professional scholars and can be read by non-professionals. This version is available in hardcover and paperback. Hardcover pricing: 160 yuan; Paperback pricing: 156 yuan. The starting price of such books is generally not much lower than the pricing, and the usual price is generally around 20% off. If you see a 67% discount and need it urgently, you can start. Of course, special days will be cheaper. I bought mine at a discount of about 4.8%. I don't think I have this price in recent years.
There is also an anthology of this book published by Zhonghua Book Company, which is mainly based on the contents of the Warring States Policy and is not recommended.
Note: The classical contents of Chinese studies are often difficult to understand, and people with low academic level often make many major mistakes in this annotation. I hope the subject can find a suitable version and read it in happiness.
Of course, if the author thinks the price is still expensive, it is suggested to find an electronic version of the book online with satisfactory annotations and print it out, which should save two-thirds of the money. Laugh ~ ~
