This new version rendered into Cantonese is of great use to students of Cantonese. Very early use can be made of the first part, but parts two and-three are more difficult.

The translation has certain changes to suit modern times.

Special tone marks are added where a word has two different tones, or what is called a changed tone.

The original book was in four parts, but the fourth part is omitted, as it is almost entirely taken up with the official language of the Empire, which is quite changed under the Republic.

Parts two and three are full of interest, part two being connected with dealings between merchants and officials, including many stories, business, renting houses, complimentary calls, loans, mortgages, etc.
