Mistaken sources

edit

Theobald states at one point that all of Gao You's commentary on the Huainanzi survives. Other sources contradict that, and it seems to be a mistaken extrapolation of the mistaken theory that Gao You only commented on a fraction of the work instead of all 21 of its books.

Similarly, when I first got here, it claimed that Baxter & co. stated that Gao You wrote a commentary on Confucius's Spring and Autumn Annals. Absolutely no one else I've seen mentions that, so I assume it's either confusion of Gao You with Gongyang Gao or of Master Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals with Confucius's. — LlywelynII 12:32, 17 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
