摘要
There has been an increasing interest in the Chinese excavated documents of western scholars.With different version of excavated Laozi,it attracts the attention of researchers.This paper examines the study of unearthed Laozi by western scholars by using Mawangtui and Guodia Laozi,attempts to give readers a basic picture of unearthed Laozi study in western academia.Since there is no way that I can hope to introduce all western studies of unearthed Laozi,this paper will restrict the presentation to just the following topic:Mawangtui Laozi,Guodian Laozi,“Tai Yi Sheng Shui”,“Wu Xing”,and Methodology.
