What kind of relationship between Wen Zi and Huai Nan Zi. When Wen Zi had been written, and Who is Wenzi and Pingwang(King Ping), all these problems are related to the whole developing pattern of Chinese philosophy from pre-Qin to WeiJin Times. However, there had been so much divergence that scholars can't put Wen Zi to the history of Chinese philosophy correctly when they argued about these items since Liu Zongyuan. At the same time, there always had been many doubts and suspicious about the thought of Wen Zi?Contemporary scholars have paid lots of attention of the bamboo edition of Wen Zi and achieved some important fruits with so heated arguments and more complex questions that some scholars don't think these problems can be resolved under current conditions since it was excavated and published. This article make great efforts to go deep discussion into all these knotty problems in details by a method of "draining the pond to get all the fish".By basically and profoundly comparing and analysing of a large number of texts, this article argues that the bamboo and current edition of Wen Zi shouldn't be regard as the same text, in spite of they have some thread of succession.The relationship between Hen Zi and Huai Nan Zi is clear. Huai Nan Zi may quoted some opinions of the ancient edition of Wen Zi, however, the current edition of Wen Zi duplicated lots of Huai Nan Zi. The bamboo edition should be taken as a foundation when we discusses the thought of Wen // and it put forward a system of political philosophy and achieved perfect harmony by mix important schools such as Confucius, Mohism. Military(Bing Jia) together according the standpoint of Taoists. There are many important and interesting thoughts such as the Way (Dao,道). the Virtue (De, 德), Saint & Wisdom(Shengzhi.圣智).Four principles (Sijing,四经), Five Kinds of War ( Wubing, 五兵) .Grasping the Unity and No Action (Zhiyi Wuwei. 执一无为), which developed theory of Taoists in main ways in Wen Zi. On the opinion of this article, it is difficult to equate the school of Hanglao with Taoists named by Si Matan in his famous article On Gist of Six schools(Lun Liu Jia Yao Zhi,论六家要旨) , Taoists can be divided into six branches Which holding in high esteem on Virtue (De , 德), Law(Fa ,法), Self(Ji, 己). Empty(Xu,虚),Tranquil(An, 安). Truth(Zhen, 真) in their own way after Lao Zi, and bamboo Wen Zi had high regard for Virtue (De ,德). This dissertation gives special annotation of the Way (Dao, 道), the Virtue (De,德), and Saint &Wisdom(Shengzhi.圣智). it annotates No Action ( Wuwei, 无为) as No melting(Wuhua,无化) that means don't melt the other things as well as don't be melted by other things. This dissertation discriminates clearly that early Han Dynasty is the time of bamboo Wen Zi had been written by discovering and judging one kind of important institution named Chaoqing(be present at court ontime), thus both Wenzi and Pingwang(King Ping) belong to forging names undoubtedly. It also points out the possible connection of Tianwen and Wenzi, and emphasizes the special relation of School of Qi(齐学) and Taoists. All these aspects have proved that bamboo Wen Zi has an important place in the history of traditional Chinese Academy and Thought.This article attaches weightiness to the premises and ways of the historical accumulating of philosophy and advances a method of Annotation Philosophy . Its structure is determined by the two aspects mentioned above. It also stresses that almost all philosophy texts have connection with bamboo Wen Zi more or less from middle and later time of the War State besides Lao Zi?The phenomenon of Wen Zi inspires us that each text always has a certain position in the net of historical documents.
