在湖北省郭店镇附近的一座墓葬中发现了竹简，自那以后的近20年里，郭店文本一直是中国学者最热门的话题之一，它们逐渐开始重塑更广泛的中国古典哲学叙事。然而，它们对英语语言奖学金的影响仍然很小，部分原因是直到最近，只有专家才能接触到它们。这种情况现在正在改变，主要是通过出版斯科特库克大量注释的郭店文本翻译（Scott Cook，The Bamboo Texts of the Guodian：A Study and Complete Translation [Ithaca：Cornell University Press，2013]），以及Dirk Meyers关于竹子的哲学：中国早期的文本与意义生产，这本书正在审查中。竹哲学包括中文文本和英文翻译的几个最重要的和有趣的国电发文：《忠信之道》、《穷大一世》、《五行》、《性由命出》、《太一生水》等。竹简是如此模棱两可，没有人会同意迈耶在重建和翻译它们时所做的每一个选择，但总体而言，中文文本和翻译是相当可靠的，迈耶对有争议的观点进行了广泛的讨论，证明了他的阅读，并展示了其他可能性。
In the nearly 20 years since the discovery of the bamboo texts excavated from a tomb near the town of Guodian in Hubei province, the Guodian texts have been one of the hottest topics among Chinese scholars, and they have gradually started to reshape broader narratives of classical Chinese philosophy. Their impact on English language scholarship, though, has remained rather minimal, partly because they have until very recently been accessible only to specialists. That situation is now changing, most of all through the publication of Scott Cooks heavily annotated translation of the Guodian texts (Scott Cook, The Bamboo Texts of the Guodian: A Study and Complete Translation [Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2013]), and Dirk Meyers Philosophy on Bamboo: Text and the Production of Meaning in Early China, the book under review.Philosophy on Bamboo includes the Chinese texts and English translations for several of the philosophically most important and interesting Guodian texts: The Way of Fidelity and Trustworthiness (Zhong xin zhi dao), Failure and Success Appear at Their Respective Times (Qiong da yi shi), Five Aspects of Virtuous Conduct (Wu Xing), Human Nature is Brought Forth by Decree (Xing zi ming chu), and The Ultimate One Gives Birth to Water (Tai yi sheng shui). The bamboo manuscripts are so ambiguous that no one will agree with every choice Meyer makes in reconstructing and translating them, but overall the Chinese texts and the translations are quite reliable, and Meyer includes extensive discussions of the controversial points, justifying his readings and showing what other possibilities have been suggested.
