摘要

Archeological discoveries at Guo Dian, Hubei and Ma Wang Dui in Hunan have given us many different versions of the Lao Zi and Confucian material. The Five Elements parts found in both excavations reflect the mutual influence of Daoism and Confucianism of the time.
The ”Five Elements” could have well been a very common and representative Confucian work of the time. At first glance, this Five Elements chapter seems to be tied in with the Mencius and The Doctrine of the Mean. The Guodian version of the ”Five Elements”, however, contains text but no commentary. The Ma Wang Dui Silk Scroll version of the Five Elements contains the text and commentary on the sixth section. The commentary is consistent in some places and others not so consistent with the text. For example, the text esteems what is ”sagely” while the commentary leans toward ”benevolence” (Ren) and ”righteousness” (Yi). The text proceeds from ”thought” (Si) in explaining ”benevolence” (Ren), ”wisdom” (Zhi), ”righteousness” (Yi) and ”propriety” (Li). The commentary, on the other hand, proceeds from the notion of ”Qi” in explaining ”benevolence”, ”righteousness”, ”propriety”, ”sageliness” (Sheng) and ”wisdom”. The text itself has no mention of the concept of ”Qi”. Those who advocate that the Five Elements chapter is a work of the school of Mencius, must take into account these discrepancies between the text and the commentary.

Archeological discoveries at Guo Dian, Hubei and Ma Wang Dui in Hunan have given us many different versions of the Lao Zi and Confucian material. The Five Elements parts found in both excavations reflect the mutual influence of Daoism and Confucianism of the time.
The ”Five Elements” could have well been a very common and representative Confucian work of the time. At first glance, this Five Elements chapter seems to be tied in with the Mencius and The Doctrine of the Mean. The Guodian version of the ”Five Elements”, however, contains text but no commentary. The Ma Wang Dui Silk Scroll version of the Five Elements contains the text and commentary on the sixth section. The commentary is consistent in some places and others not so consistent with the text. For example, the text esteems what is ”sagely” while the commentary leans toward ”benevolence” (Ren) and ”righteousness” (Yi). The text proceeds from ”thought” (Si) in explaining ”benevolence” (Ren), ”wisdom” (Zhi), ”righteousness” (Yi) and ”propriety” (Li). The commentary, on the other hand, proceeds from the notion of ”Qi” in explaining ”benevolence”, ”righteousness”, ”propriety”, ”sageliness” (Sheng) and ”wisdom”. The text itself has no mention of the concept of ”Qi”. Those who advocate that the Five Elements chapter is a work of the school of Mencius, must take into account these discrepancies between the text and the commentary.
