  Wang Bi [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Wang Bi (Wang Pi), styled Fusi, is regarded as one of the most important interpreters of the classical Chinese texts known as the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) and the Yijing (I Ching).
Wang’s approach, as far as we can tell from what remains of the commentary, was to focus on those passages that stress the limited capacity of language, especially with respect to the inability to define in language the nature of the sage.
Wang’s commentary on the hexagrams draws heavily from passages in the Daodejing and Zhuangzi.

Ethics in the Confucian Tradition: The Thought of Mencius and Wang Yang-ming (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1990).
The standard text of the Dao de jing for many years was the so-called "Wang Bi" text, so most translations are based on that text.
However, an earlier (and slightly different) version of the text was found at a placed called "Mawangdui," so many recent translations are based on this older (but more recently discovered) version.
