郭店《老子》甲組21號簡有關異文的解釋

Glosses on the Textual Variants in Slip Number 21,Group A of the Guodian Laozi Manuscript

郭店楚墓所出《老子》甲組21號簡之文,既見於今本《道經》第二十五章,又見於西漢早期的馬王堆帛書本、北京大學藏西漢中期竹簡本《老子》。各本之間存在不少異文,學者們對此已有許多論述。爲了弄清楚《老子》此章的原意,有必要在吸收各家合理說法的基礎上,對郭店《老子》這支簡的有關異文重新進行解釋。我們的討論主要涉及:'有蟲成'的''和'蟲'、'敓'的釋讀;'周行而不殆'一句的有無及其含義;是'可以爲天下母'還是'可以爲天地母'。

A sentence in slip number 21,group A of the Guodian Laozi manuscript is found not only in chapter 25 of the received editions of the Daojing but also in two manuscripts:the Mawangdui silk manuscripts dated from the early Western Han Dynasty and the bamboo slips dated from the middle of the Western Han preserved at Peking University.However,in these editions there are a number of textual variants,which have been discussed by scholars on numerous occasions.In order to discover the original intended meaning of this chapter in the Laozi,it is necessary to revisit the issue based on existing scholarship and provide new explanations.
