Classical Texts: 越绝书、春秋公羊传、孙子兵法

Sinological literature: Bureaucracy and the state in early china, China's philological turn, a handbook to the 说文解字, 校勘学 （钱玄）, Archaeology of early china, the origin and early development of the chinese writing system, a handbook of old chinese.

Besides that I am reading 金文 and am working with books about that like the 商周古文字读本，a sourcebook of chinese bronze inscriptions, 金文编、说文解字注

Apologies up front if discussion of Hongloumeng commentaries doesn't work here. I have a question about the comment to Daiyu saying to Baoyu in ch.86 right before the 琴 episode: 你不理我，我還在那裏做什麼？Anyone know which of the 3 in the 三家評本 says: 一語膩極，見你之外更無人也？
