Huainanzi Jixi (Volume 1, 2, and 3)

Author: He Ning
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 1998-10-01
Features: This book is based on the Guangxu 2nd Year edition of the Zhejiang Book Bureau's printing of Zhuang Kuiji's annotated version of the Huainanzi, with references to the Daozang edition, Daozang Jiyao edition (abbreviated as Shu Zang), Zhongli Si Zi edition (abbreviated as Zhongli Ben), Mao Yigui's annotated printing (abbreviated as Mao Ben), Liu Maosheng's handwritten Song Dynasty edition (abbreviated as Jing Song Ben), the Tang Dynasty manuscript Binglue fragments (abbreviated as Gu Can Ben), as well as quotations from Tang and Song dynasties' encyclopedias and other works that originated from or were related to the Huainanzi. The views of various scholars collected are listed in the appendix Bibliography of the Huainanzi, hence only the authors are marked without listing specific passages or titles. Each entry is preceded by an "○" for separation, distinguishing it from original annotations. Annotations already present are marked as "Ning's Case." The text and annotations of Zhuang's edition remain unchanged. Occasionally, obvious errors are corrected directly, or missing annotations are supplemented, with the sources cited in the notes. The collected scholars are arranged in chronological order.
