Book of Jin

[edit]

Where is an online English translation of the Book of Jin (Jìn Shū)? déhanchements (talk) 07:22, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to our article on the Book of Jin this comes in 130 volumes and there are currently no complete translations, though some individual volumes have been translated.--Shantavira|feed me 15:06, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While that's technically true, you seem to be implying that 130 volumes is a lot. A "volume" of a work like this can be just a few thousand characters, so that's rather misleading. HenryFlower 18:38, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's irrelevant how long or short the volumes are. I'm simply reiterating what the article says. I don't see how that's misleading.--Shantavira|feed me 08:35, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I really just want a translation of the 95th chapter, that's all. Anybody know Chinese? déhanchements (talk) 21:05, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
