论文子即是关尹

On Wen Zi Being Guan Yin

文子是谁?论者多有争议。李暹认为是计然,马马肃《绎史》认为是田文,钱穆《老子杂辨》认为是尹文子,李定生认为是《庄子·天下》篇所论"彭蒙之师"。考之典籍,上说皆可商榷。从先秦子书所论关尹思想与今本《文子》所载思想一致以及列子"贵虚""贵正"思想来源于今本《文子》等方面看,文子即是关尹。

There are controversies as to who Wen Zi was. Some think he was Ji Ran, Tian Wen or Yin Wenzi while others hold that he was Master of Peng Meng in the classic ＂Zhuang Zi＂. According to historic documents, this paper argues that Wen Zi was Guan Yin.
