老子及其思想辨正

Authentication of Laozi and His Ideology

作为先秦道家的奠基者,老子在中国文化史上的地位之高是历代史家所公认的。然而,关于老子曾任官职、老子之故里、《老子》一书的性质、老子的主要思想等问题,历代学者仍是见仁见智。因此,时至今日,仍有必要对这些问题进行耙梳整理、辨讹论正。

As the founder of Pre - Qin Taoism, Laozi＇ s status in Chinese culture is very high, which is also recognized by the ancient historians. However ,on Laozi＇ s official, his hometown, the nature of Laozi, and his main thought, scholars have a variety of opinions. Therefore, it is quite essential to collate these issues and to distinguish the right theories from the false ones.
