Abstract
By perusing the text of "Yuan Dao" (tracing the origin to the Dao) with relevant theories of Chinese and Western philosophy, this article reviews different interpretations of "Dao" and their insufficiencies. It reinterprets the meanings of "Dao" and analyzes difference and connection between "Dao" in "Yuan Dao" and that in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Another focus of this article is the reasons why Liu Xie esteems Confucius as a saint and Laozi a sage, and why he extols Confucian classics and Dao De Jing. Through the above analysis, the article expounds the meanings and relationship among "dao-de-sheng-wen" in "Yuan Dao".
