"Tian Long Ba Bu" is a type of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Therefore, if you want to buy a good version of "Tian Long Ba Bu", of course you must buy a genuine book authorized by Jin Yong. If you buy a pirated book, it will be worthless at all. Jin Yong's novels are not authorized to be published in single volumes in China. Jin Yong's novels are all authorized to be published as a whole under the "Collection of Jin Yong's Works". Jin Yong's collection of works has gone through three versions: the old version, the new version and the newly revised version. Manuscripts from 1955 to 1972 are called old editions and were mainly published in newspapers and periodicals. There are also many separate editions without copyright, which may have been lost now. Starting from 1970, Jin Yong began to revise all his works. By 1980, all the revisions were completed. This was a new edition, named "Jin Yong's Works Collection", with a total of 36 volumes. In 1999, Jin Yong restarted the revision work and renamed it the New Revised Edition (or Century New Revised Edition). So far, all the newly revised editions have been completed and published together. "Collected Works of Jin Yong" has been published by many publishing houses, such as Beijing Sanlian Bookstore published "Collected Works of Jin Yong" mainland simplified Chinese version; Mingheshe Xingma Branch published "Collected Works of Jin Yong" Southeast Asian simplified Chinese version; Taiwan Yuanjing Publishing House Collection of Works" Traditional Chinese version; Mainland Baihua Publishing House version; Guangzhou Huacheng version, etc. The mainland version is the most famous, the Beijing Sanlian version. At present, the only authorized regular version in mainland China is the simplified Chinese version of "Jin Yong's Works" jointly published by Guangzhou Publishing House and Huacheng Publishing House. The copyrights of other versions, such as Beijing Sanlian Edition, Culture and Art Society's Commentary Edition, and Mainland Hundred Flowers Edition, have long been After expiration, no more reprints were made, so these editions are out of print. So if you want to buy "Tian Long Ba Bu" now, it's best if you can buy the old Beijing Sanlian version. If you can't buy it, you have to buy the new revised version from Guangzhou Publishing House and Huacheng Publishing House. Let me show off: I have a newly revised version of "Jin Yong's Collection of Works" signed by Jin Yong, haha.
