Abstract
This paper unveils that the Chenbalang's block-printed edition of Wenxuan Commentary by Five Ministers in 1161 of Southern Song Dynasty, stored in Taiwan Central Library, is a faithful version of Wu Zhaoyi's edition in Wu Dynasties with some features of edition in Tang Dynasty and Japanese edition. While it is of great value in literature, parts of the manuscript along with it are valueless, as were from Ganzhou edition's copy collected by Jiang Fengzao in the late Qing Dynasty.
