Mr. Feng Youlan's New Edition of the History of Chinese Philosophy, Volume IV, Chapter 48, Section 2, talks about Han Yu. After reading it, I found that there were at least two mistakes:
One. In the text of the Original Tao, "If the people do not produce corn and linen, they will be used as utensils, and if they are rich in money, they will be punished." Mr. Feng explained that "if the people do not work well and serve those above them, they will be killed." It is not correct to interpret "curse" as "kill" here. Mr. Huang Yongnian's "Selected Translations of Han Yu's Poems" commentary: "诛: Here is the meaning of condemnation, that is, to pursue responsibility and blame for the crimes that are deserved, not all of them are killed, and the word 诛 cannot be interpreted as killing here. This comment seems to be directed at Mr. Feng. It should be said that Mr. Huang Yongnian's opinion is correct. Mr. Liu Zhenlun's "Notes on the School Notes of the Hanyu Anthology" also made a detailed annotation of this character, which can be referred to.
Second. Mr. Feng quoted the phrase "extinguish its heavenly constant" in the Original Tao, and added parentheses after the word "extinguished", saying: "(Each book does not have this word, to add meaning)". At first glance, I thought it was a philosopher who was not bound to the high opinion of the text. However, in each of the books I saw later, there was the word "extinguished", and I did not feel suspicious. Mr. Liu Zhenlun's "Notes on the School Notes of the Collection of HanYu Literature" is known as "Hui School", and it has not been written here. Then I found Mr. Feng Youlan's two-volume "History of Chinese Philosophy" from his early years, and his quotation from "The Original Tao" was indicated to be based on a series of four books, and his text was impressively written as "destroying its natural constants". I don't know why Mr. Feng wrote a book in his later years, why did he write it? Mr. Feng was almost blind in his later years, relying on students and assistants to help complete the "New Edition of the History of Chinese Philosophy", its misrememberment can be understood, but the collator and even the publishing house, somehow did not check the original text? It's also weird.
