Interpretation on Han Shu Noted by Yan Shigu Referencingto Dao De Jing
Han Shu noted by Yan Shi-gu is the best and most complete annotated version since the circulation of Han Shu.It not only collects 23 old notes on Han Shu before the Tang Dynasty,but also quotes more than 150 ancient documents,which is an impor-tant reference material for the study of philology.Yan Shigu's notes on Han Shu cited 13 examples of the Dao De Jing,taking this as the research object.Through comparison,it was found that the Dao De Jing quoted by Yan Shi-gu was consistent with the current Dao De Jing and Lao Zi in silk manuscripts,although some individual texts were slightly different,the contents of the three versions of Dao De Jing were consistent.From the representation of quotations,the style of Dao De Jing in the early Tang Dynasty was divided into the De Jing and the Dao Jing,which were the same as the original style of Lao Zi unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb in 1973.
