The project will conduct a study of early Tang Daoist philosophy based on the "Expository Commentary to the Daode jing" 道德經義疏 by Cheng Xuanying 成玄英 (ca. 601/604- ca. 690). Cheng Xuanying was an ordained Daoist monk and one of the most eminent representatives of Daoist Twofold Mystery philosophy (chongxuan xue 重玄學). An outstanding systematic thinker, he was invited by the emperor to the capital Chang’an in 631. His "Expository Commentary to the Daode jing" can be counted among the fullest expressions of Tang Daoist philosophy. The "Expository Commentary to the Daode jing" can be seen as an important link between the Xuanxue philosophy of the 3rd and 4th centuries and the Neo-Confucian philosophy of the 10th-13th centuries. Furthermore it is of outstanding significance for our understanding of the integration of Buddhist thought into mainstream Chinese philosophy.The study will focus specifically on the contextualization of the Expository Commentary in intertextual relations with Daoist, Buddhist and Confucian commentarial literature written in Sui and early Tang dynasty Chang’an. The criteria for including texts in this study is thus not an assumed affiliation to a school of thought or a religion, but time and place of origin of the texts. The intertextual relations of the Expository Commentary with diverse contemporary commentary literature allow us to contextualize the Expository Commentary in philosophical discourses, in which representatives of all three teachings, Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, participated. The study will be innovative in that it combines hermeneutic close reading strategies with full-text-searches in large text corpora. This approach allows to pay special attention to the synchronic interaction of the three teachings, in addition to the diachronic contextualization of a text in one system of thought (here Daoism). The project aims to present Daoist philosophy of the Tang, which so far has been neglected in presentations of the history of Chinese philosophy. At the same time it also will show the complex interactions and shared philosophical discourses of the three coexisting teachings. These are of great relevance for our understanding of the development of Chinese philosophy after the Tang in the context of the coexistence of the three teachings.

本项目将以程玄英道德經義疏的《道德经释义》成玄英(约601/604-约690)为基础，对唐代早期道家哲学进行研究。程玄英是一位道士，是道家二重玄学(重玄學)的杰出代表之一。他是一位杰出的系统思想家，631年应皇帝之邀来到首都长安。他的《道德经释义》可以说是唐代道家哲学最充分的表现之一。《道德经》释义是连接3、4世纪玄学哲学与10-13世纪理学的重要纽带。此外，这对于我们理解佛教思想如何融入中国主流哲学也具有突出的意义。本研究将侧重于释义与隋唐长安的道家、佛教、儒家评点文学之间的互文关系的语境化问题。因此，将文本纳入这项研究的标准不是假定的从属于一个思想或宗教流派，而是文本的起源时间和地点。释义与不同的当代评点文学的互文关系使我们能够在哲学话语中对释义进行语境化，道家、佛教和儒家的代表都参与了这一过程。这项研究的创新之处在于，它将解释学精读策略与在大型文本语料库中进行全文搜索相结合。这种方法允许特别注意三个教义的共时互动，以及在一个思想系统(这里是道家)中的文本的历时语境。该项目旨在展示唐代的道家哲学，到目前为止，在展示中国哲学史时，唐代道家哲学一直被忽视。同时，它还将展示三种共存的教义之间复杂的互动和共同的哲学话语。这对于我们在三教并存的背景下理解唐以后中国哲学的发展具有重要的现实意义。
