Wuxing (text)


Wu xing is a Warring States period text ascribed to Zisi, known mainly due to the Mawangdui Han tombs site and Guodian discoveries.
Relationship between the two versions of the text remains debated. Unlike the Guodian version, written on bamboo strips, the Mawangdui "Wu xing" is written on silk and contains both the main text identical to that of the Guodian and the explanation.
The text is related to the "Zhongyong" and "Daxue". However, in Mawangdui Han tombs site it was discovered written in the same scroll with the Laozi.
