Ok, but I can't reproduce the problem for test_gbk.txt.
What is shown by C-h C RET?

So, I installed that locale, and ran Emacs under it. The
file test_gbk.txt was correctly detected as GBK.
But, as the byte sequence pattern of GBK and Big5 is not
distinguishable, it is impossible to make Emacs detect both
files correctly at the same time.
By the way, as the file test_big5.txt is completely the same
as test_gbk.txt, I changed the encoding of test_big5.txt to
Big5 by iconv, and tested with it.

At least detect_coding_region works correctly for
test_gbk.txt. But, it doesn't work for test_big5.txt by the
same reason as above.
If you want to read Big5 file correctly, do something like
this:
C-x C-m c big5 RET C-x C-f _FILENAME_
or change the language environment to Chinese-BIG5 by:
C-x C-m l Chinese-BIG5 RET
or run Emacs under Big5 locale.

Strangely enough, I get
Coding system for saving this buffer:
S -- japanese-shift-jis-unix (alias: shift_jis-unix sjis-unix
cp932-unix)
My LANG is en_US.UTF-8.

Yes, that is expected I think. For non zh_CN locale, japanese is
prioritized for CJK.
and IMPORTANT, ignore the attached .txt file in my previous email. It
seems that my email system convert big5 to gbk automatically. So yes,
you need to iconv it to big5 first for testing.
So the current issue is that: in detect-coding-region's DOC, it says
"Return a list of possible coding systems ordered by priority".
But for big5 txt file, the big5 coding system is not in the returned
list.
Cheers,
poppyer

Ok, I've just modified the docstring as these:
DEFUN ("detect-coding-region", Fdetect_coding_region, Sdetect_coding_region,
2, 3, 0,
doc: /* Detect coding system of the text in the region between START and END.
Return a list of possible coding systems ordered by priority.
The coding systems to try and their priorities follows what
the function `coding-system-priority-list' (which see) returns.
[...]
DEFUN ("coding-system-priority-list", Fcoding_system_priority_list,
Scoding_system_priority_list, 0, 1, 0,
doc: /* Return a list of coding systems ordered by their priorities.
The list contains a subset of coding systems; i.e. coding systems
assigned to each coding category (see `coding-category-list').
[...]
Are they clear? If not, please improve them.

In that locale, the above is normal. Shift-jis can't
distinguished from Big5 and GBK either.

Yes, the gbk issue is confirmed solved in the CVS
(after coding.c rev1.413)
But for the big5, in the list returned by
"(detect_coding_region (region-beginning) (region-end))",
there is not big5. I do understand that gbk and big5's sequences might
not be easy to distinguish, but in this case, both encodings are
compatible to the input literal text, so both should be in the returned list. Am
I right? Can you check with this?
BTW, is that any hook that I can put after the coding detection? I might
want to write a small lisp to distinguish BIG5 and GBK (by char statistics,
for example).
I re-attached the test_big5.txt file here.

You are right. But, the current Emacs can't have both GBK
and Big5 in a list of coding systems to try for detecting
because they are in the same category of coding-system
(i.e. charset-base). I know that this restriction is not
good, and improving it is in my todo list, but I still don't
have a time to work on it.

We don't have such a hook, but I think you can use
after-insert-file-functions for reading a file. When that
hook is called, the buffer already contains a text decoded
by buffer-file-coding-system. You can re-decode the newly
inserted text as this:
(defun check-gbk-big5 (nchars)
(if (and enable-multibyte-characters
(not coding-system-for-read)
(coding-system-equal
'chinese-gbk (coding-system-base buffer-file-coding-system)))
(let* ((pos (point))
(end (+ pos nchars))
(modified (buffer-modified-p)))
(when (search-forward "\x5201" end t) ;; (*1)
(save-restriction
(goto-char pos)
(narrow-to-region pos end)
(encode-coding-region pos end buffer-file-coding-system)
(decode-coding-region pos (point-max) 'big5)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system last-coding-system-used)
(set-buffer-modified-p modified)
(setq nchars (point-max))))))
nchars)
(add-hook 'after-insert-file-functions 'check-gbk-big5)
You can change (*1) part to your check function.

I just re-examine the code, and find the bug.
And it is a bug in lisp/language/chinese.el
near line 125:
=================
(define-coding-system 'chinese-big5
"BIG5 8-bit encoding for Chinese (MIME:Big5)"
:coding-type 'charset
:mnemonic ?B
:charset-list '(ascii big5)
:mime-charset 'big5)
=====================
should be:
=================
(define-coding-system 'chinese-big5
"BIG5 8-bit encoding for Chinese (MIME:Big5)"
:coding-type 'big5 ;; change charset to big5 here, poppyer
:mnemonic ?B
:charset-list '(ascii big5)
:mime-charset 'big5)
=====================
recompile emacs again, i would be able to get
(coding-system-category 'big5) => coding_category_big5
and coding_category_big5 is already defined in coding.c
so
gbk belongs to coding_category_charset
big5 belongs to coding_category_big5
sjis belongs to coding_category_sjis
three diff categories, and the results can be listed by
detect-coding-region

Actually this is not a bug. When I introduced the
coding-type `charset' in Emacs 23, I changed most
coding-systems that require charset-mapping to that type.
In the future, I want to delete all Big5 (and SJIS) specific
codes in coding.c.
But, the implementation of detecting coding systems of the
same type won't be in time for Emacs 23.1. So, I'll commit
your change.

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The auto encoding detection can not detect the correct encoding (for
example, for the two files attached). And neither the
detect-coding-region function works (after M-x find-file-literally)
