# Robert G. Henricks publishes an English Te-Tao Ching from the Mawangdui silks

Date: 1989

## The fact

In 1989 Henricks issued a complete English based on the Mawangdui recensions, with the de/dao order visible to non-specialists.

Henricks publishes an English Te-Tao Ching from the Mawangdui silks (1989-01-01).

## Context

Translation after excavation is a separate public act from the find. It is how most English readers met the silk variants. Authorship remains unproven.

[Laozi](/people/laozi) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official museum, encyclopedia, agency, or edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## Significance

A 1989 book is not a 1973 shovel. Split the instruments.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
