A, B and C in the simplified version of Laozi are the earliest manuscripts of Laozi seen in 1990s. Most of its sentences are similar or the same as the current edition of Laozi, but there is no distinction between Taoist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, and the chapters do not correspond to the current edition. The simplified version of Laozi is divided into three chapters in the traditional version of Laozi, some of which are equivalent to the whole chapter of the traditional version, and some are only equivalent to one chapter or most of the chapters. The simplified version contains 2046 words, about two-fifths of the biographical version. Because of several grave robberies, bamboo slips disappeared, and the simplified version of Laozi was no exception. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately estimate the original number of simplified books.
