《老子》传世本的误传和反注

Misinformation and reverse injectionof the Handed Down Version of Lao Tzu

论证汉武帝“罢黜百家,独尊儒术”是《老子》初始本降维为传世本的根本原因。刘向为了配合“罢黜百家,独尊儒术”,颠倒《老子》初始本之上下经,把支持“无为而治”的《老子》初始本,降维为支持“有为而治”的《老子》传世本。《老子》传世本误传经文和反注经义,是反《老子》的伪《老子》,反老学的伪老学。

This article is sixth of the series of articles on Lao Tzu,the article demonstrates that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty“respecting only Confucianism and suppressing other schools of thoughts”is the root cause why the original version of Lao Tzu was reduced into the handed down version.Liu Xiang has reversed the upper and lower the text of the original Lao Tzu,in order to cooperate with“respecting only Confucianism and suppressing other schools of thoughts”,he changed the original version of Lao Tzu,which supports“governing by doing nothing”,into the handed down version of Lao Tzu,which supports“governing by doing something”.The handed down version of Lao Tzu had been systematic tampered and overall wrongly annotated about the original text meaning.It’s a pseudo Lao Tzu,which opposes Lao Tzu,a pseudo Lao Tzu’s theory,which opposes Lao Tzu’s theory.
