What is an orphan novel? If there is only this one copy of the book in the domestic collection and there is no record of it in any other collection, it will be called a domestic solitary copy. Only the only complete copy existing at home and abroad can be called an solitary copy. Therefore, the most important thing to determine the original copy is the basis. The "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Novels", "Novel Bookstore Record", "General Catalog of Chinese Popular Novels", "Encyclopedia of Chinese Popular Novels" and "Chinese Orphaned Editions", which have a relatively large and comprehensive collection, Japan's Hidetaka Otsuka's "Supplement to the Bibliography of Chinese Popular Novels" and "Chinese Orphaned Books" are the basis for us to determine the original copy. It is precisely because of the high edition value, reading value, research value and collection value of orphan books that the "China's Top Ten Orphan Novel Library" compiled by Master Gu Wu Echuan and others has selected the ten most valuable ones among many orphan books and compiled it into the "China's Top Ten Orphan Novel Library" for the benefit of readers.
