正统道家传承脉络梳理

Inheritance of Orthodox Taoism

早期道家的传承关系极为模糊,老子其人其书本身就存在着不少争议。先秦道家究竟以哪些人为代表,也有不同看法。汉初"道家"名称出现时,又有着"道家"和"道德家"的不同称谓,有时甚至将其直呼为"黄老",足见道家形成和发展的历程极为坎坷,其传续轨迹一波三折,时断时续,埋下了诸多难解之谜。随着考古资料的新发现,在条件允许的情况下,对其传承脉络加以梳理,无疑是老学道家研究者的重要课题。

The early Taoist inheritance relationship is very obscure, there exists much dispute about Lao Zi and hisbooks. Views differ about who are the representatives of Taoism in the pre-Qin period. In the early Han dynastywhen the term, Taoism, appeared, there were also different terms such as Taoist and moralist, sometimes, directlycalled ＇＂ Huang Lao＂. Obviously, its formation and development were not smooth at all, its inheritance was also fullof mystery, ups and downs, on and off. To sort out its inheritance, if possible, is an important task for the old Tao-ist researchers with more archeological discoveries.
