Document Details : Title: The Heguanzi Subtitle: A Dubious Text Author(s): DEFOORT, C. Journal: Orientalia Lovaniensia Periodica Volume: 25 Date: 1994 Pages: 125-142 DOI: 10.2143/OLP.25.0.583466 Abstract : The Heguanzi, a bundle of treatises ascribed to the ‘Master with the pheasant-feather cap', has long intrigued great scholars of this century such as Gustav Haloun, Joseph Needham, Alfred Forke, Bernhard Karlgren, and most recently Wu Guang, Angus Graham and Li Xueqin. The textual complexities of this “notoriously corrupt and difficult text,” (Graham, 1989. H:497) however, have functioned as an impregnable buffer, turning this scholarly interest into frustration, irritation, indifference or neglect. |
