A Dream of Red Mansions is the most authoritative one published by People's Literature Publishing House. There are two kinds of Dream of Red Mansions in people's literature, both of which are China's classical literature reading series. One is white: Yu Pingbo school, with illustrations, good paper quality, the first edition should be JOE edition, published in 2000; The other one is red: Annotation of A Dream of Red Mansions (with detailed notes), with no illustrations, and the paper is slightly thinner than white. The original edition was published by Geng on 20 12. I prefer the red one, because now that time is near and some new scientific research results are used, it may be closer to the original, more scientific and more rigorous (for example, after forty times, the red circle has been unable to find evidence of Gao E's continuation, so the theory of anonymous continuation is adopted). I hope I can help you ~
