Abstract: The original manuscript of Shuofu compiled by Tao Zongyi has been lost for a long time. Current prevailing edition is one-hundred-volumes Shuofu edited by Zhang Zongxiang. Shanghai Library has Ming Dynasty’s transcript of Shuofu. The data value of Han Feizi in the transcript is far better than the Zhang Zongxiang’s recension, because from the transcript we can know that Tao Zongyi used Song Dynasty's edition of Han Feizi which is better than other rare books of Han Feizi.

Key words: Shuofu, Ming Dynasty’s transcript, Value
