Abstract: The current relevant work and most of the bibliography considered two editions of Dui Shan Shu Wu Mo Yu Lu, one was a block-printed edition engraved by Mr. Wu in 1870, and the other was a block-printed edition engraved by Mao Xianglin in 1874. However, the block-printed edition engraved by Mr. Wu in 1870 was only a kind of reprinted editions instead of the original one, the earliest edition. The block-printed edition engraved in 1870 and carved by Mao Xianglin was identified as the original edition, and the edition by Mr. Wu was reprinted from it. Moreover, the edition by Mr. Yang was reprinted based on Mr. Wu’s edition. The block-printed edition engraved by Mao Xianglin in 1874 was considered the better version. It was built on the edition in 1870 by Mr. Mao.
