Immortality Posted September 28, 2021 Dear friends, I understand that history has produced several versions of Dao De Jing, such as the Mawangtui text and the Fuyi edition. Would anyone here be so kind as to tell me which version is presented on yellowbridge.com?: https://www.yellowbridge.com/onlinelit/daodejing.php Your friend under the crescent moon, Immortality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Logray Posted September 29, 2021 It mostly belongs to the 3 latter versions, from 5 BC to 290 AD. The earlier 3 versions have different wordings in Chapter 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Immortality Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Dear Master Logray, Thank you for your response. Can these three latter versions be identified by a certain name? I'm aware of the following denominators: Mawangtui, Fuyi, Suotan, Wangpi, and Kuotien Thank you, Immortality Edited September 29, 2021 by Immortality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
