Outside the Guodian, the site gave only 1 more sentence:

<<老子河上公章句 - Heshanggong Laozi>>

始者道本也，吐氣布化，出於虛無，為天地本始也 

 

@ChiDragon could you please translate this sentence for me?

Which sentence?

 

道恆無為也，侯王能守之，則萬物將自化?

This is the problem. The only place where Lao Tzu mentions Qi in the Guodian Chu Bamboo Slips is a relatively negative statement.

As a result, the content of the modern version uses Qi on positive content.

It has to make people think whether there is a possibility of tampering?

 

這就是問題所在了，老子在郭店楚簡唯一提到氣的地方，是比較負面的說法

結果現代版的內容卻把氣用在正面的內容上。

不得不令人思考是否有篡改的可能？

Some differences I saw between the Guodian and the Wang Bi have made me think there has been a deliberate tampering.

Gladly, I will give it a try.

The beginning is the basic Tao.  Transformed with a blow of breath. It came within the void. It is the origin of sky and earth.
