Wuxing (text)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wuxing (Chinese: 五行; pinyin: wǔxíng) is a Warring States period text ascribed to Zi Si, known mainly due to the Mawangdui (1973, sealed 168 BCE) and Guodian (1993, sealed about 300 BCE) discoveries.

Relationship between the two versions of the text remains debated.[1]

The text is related to the "Zhongyong" and "Daxue" (presently chapters in the Classic of Rites). However, in Mawangdui it was discovered written in the same scroll with the Laozi.[2]
