Some ancient books published now have indeed been edited and changed for two main reasons.

One: It is an ancient book published for young readers. For example, the four classic novels "A Dream of Red Mansions" contain many descriptions of eroticism and breaking off diplomatic relations. These contents are not suitable for children and need to be deleted and modified in a targeted manner. The Journey to the West is an extracurricular reading that teenagers love to read, which contains a lot of blue, gorgeous words and violent and bloody descriptions. If it is not deleted, it will have a great adverse impact on the physical and mental health of teenagers. Therefore, for the healthy growth of flowers in the motherland, it is necessary to delete some ancient books before publication. ?

Second, in order to conform to the progress of modern people's reading habits, and the reading habits of people in each era are very different, it is understandable to delete and change them in order to conform to modern people's reading habits, as long as the theme content is not changed beyond recognition. If you want to read the deleted ones, you can buy the adult version, or buy some ancient thread-bound books for engraving, so that you can read the original text and have the value of collection and appreciation.
