论王弼《道德经注》道藏本

On Dao Zang Edition of Wang Bi’s Notes to Tao Te Ching

《道藏》中的《道德真经注》四卷本(简称“道藏本”)与武英殿本所据张之象本相异之处颇多,同时,对校道藏本与武英殿所依《永乐大典》本,发现二者也有相当明显的差异。较之张之象本,道藏本脱讹较少;道藏本不分《道经》《德经》,不分篇章,亦合乎宋晁说之等所言王注本旧貌。通过源流考述与版本对比可知,道藏本是重要的王弼《道德经注》善本,较之他本更具文献价值。遗憾的是,此本一直未能引起研究王弼《道德经注》者足够的重视。

There are many differences between the four volume edition of the Notes to the Tao Te Zhen Jing(referred to as Dao Zang edition) in Dao Zang and Wuyingdian edition based on Zhang Zhixiang’s edition. Meanwhile, it is found that there are quite obvious differences between Dao Zang edition and that of Yongle Dadian on which the one in Wujingdian is based. Compared with Zhang Zhixiang’s edition, there are fewer errors in Dao Zang edition. Dao Zang edition is not divided into the Tao Scripture and Moral Scripture, and it is not divided into chapters either, which is in line with Wang Bi’s notes as stated by Chao Yuezhi in Song Dynasty. Through the textual research on the origin and the comparison of different editions, it can be seen that the Dao Zang edition is an important rare book of Wang Bi’s Notes to Tao Te Ching, which has more literary value than other editions. Regrettably, his book has not been paid enough attention to by those who study his Notes to Tao Te Ching.
