Among the various commentaries on Zhuangzi, Mr. Wang Su-Min's Revisal and Interpretations on Zhuangzi stands out as a masterpiece due to its extraordinary accuracy in textual collation and precision in phi1010gical elucidation. Grounded in solid scholarship of textual research and criticism, the book also explores the quintessence of Zhuangzi's thought and provides a number of authoritative interpretations to resolve aged-old disputes over some difficu1t passages in Zhuangzi. In this essay, by way of discussing four abstruse passages in Zhuangzi, namely, ”zhi yan” in the Yuyan chapter, ”yang qin” in the Yangsheng zhu chapter, ”zuo chi” in the Renjian shi chapter, and ”tong er bu shi yu dui” in the Dechong fu chapter, I demonstrate how Mr. Wang surpasses his predecessors in his interpretations and thereby offer some glimpses into the bri11iant insights contained in his book.
