Daozang tiyao (Ren Jiyu and Zhong Zhaopeng)
金長筌子註。《太上赤文洞古經》,《道藏》只有註本,“本文”類無。洞真部玉訣類另有李道純《無上赤文洞古真經註》。
此註本與《元始天尊說太古經註》(洞真部玉訣類)基本相同,註者和經前之序亦相同。但此本經文少一結語和頌,兩者經文異字異文亦較多,此本註文不釋經題和結語,其他完全相同。似為同一書之兩種版本。
經文分三章:《操真章》、《入聖章》、《住世章》。經文甚短,各章僅數十字。大意是述無動無為是萬物之本;不視不聽為眾妙之門;“養其無象”,“守其無體”,則可長生。註文採道釋之旨而以道為宗。謂修道者應抱元守一,清靜無為,“歸根復命”。
清人李涵虛輯入《太上十三經》,其題解云:“赤文喻紫氣紅光,洞古喻觀見本來面目,經喻藥物,為操真人聖之用。”
Zhengtong Daozang tiyao (Hsiao Teng-fu)
註文與《元始天尊說太古經註》相同,而較簡畧,二書同為長筌子不同時期的刊本,此書應刊於早期。
此書與《元始天尊說太古經註》同為金元道士長筌子所註,註中將經文分〈操真章上〉、〈入聖章中〉、〈住世章下〉三章以作註。《元始天尊說太古經註》、《太上赤文洞古經註》二者在經文方面,畧有微異及詳畧,長筌子之註亦有詳簡之別,在《元始天尊說太古經註》上,長筌子註語多了解釋經題及結尾處經文之註,較為詳盡,疑《元始天尊說太古經註》較後完成。詳本書0102《元始天尊說太古經註》條。
