After Fanwuliuxing, one of the five texts in Chu Bamboo Slips of the Warring States Periods Collected in Shanghai Museum 7th ,has been published in Dec. 2008,an enthusiastically discussion presented. This paper with six chapters in it is based on a study on more than 130 relating essays on the internet and other documents. A brief survey is given in the first chapter and some conclusions are drawn: Mr. Gu Shikao's scheme is the best one; Fanwuliuxing can be divided into two closely related halves and an answer to the questions put in the first part is given in the second one; Fanwuliuxing belongs to the Huanglao branches of Daoism; most of the essays on the internet focus on the interpretations to the text. After an examination on the four schemes about the orders of bamboo slips, we advance that it is necessary to pay more attention to the shape of the slips when the slips are sorted; A detailed description about the slips in the second version and a collective interpretations of 27th slip are also made in this chapter. And then a collective interpretations about the first version are put in the 3rd and 4th chapters. The 5th chapter is mainly related to the annotations on the notes on Fanwuliuxing: the Chinese character本is an associative compounds composing with a坎and a木; the analysis to雩[而]瀳之:The first character is雩, a picot-phonetic character with a semantic component雨and a phonetic component华;The second character而was carelessly omitted;The third word is瀳,which means"It rains."According to this explaination, we deduce that Fanwuliuxing which closely related to Zhuangzi was a context of Daoism.In the sixth chapter ,we deduce from the use of吾that Fanwuliuxing was an uncompleted essay like a piece of reading notes.
