Abstract: In the first part of my paper, I survey the Daoist manuscripts found in thelibrary cave (Cave 17) of Dunhuang. After a brief summary of the textual history of the Zhuangzi 莊子 and its commentaries, I focus on a single manuscriptkept at the British Library (S.796). I offer the transcription and Hungariantranslation of the preserved part of ch. 10 of Zhuangzi, accompanied by thecommentary of Guo Xiang 郭象 (252–312 AD). Furthermore, while concentrating on the so-called Primitivist layer of the Zhuangzi, I give an analysis ofthe figures appearing in this chapter, especially exploring the legendary artisanChui 倕.
