Wenzi - Translations

Translations

Compared with the numerous English translations of familiar Daoist texts like the Daode jing and Zhuangzi, the presumably apocryphal Wenzi has been disregarded. Thomas Cleary (1991) wrote a popularized Wenzi translation, which he attributes to Laozi .

There is no authoritative English Wenzi translation based on the groundbreaking Dingzhou readings, nothing comparable with the Analects translation by Ames and Rosemont (1998). The closest is the unpublished PhD dissertation of Paul van Els (2006).
