The *Wu ze you xing tu 物則有形圖 silk manuscript was discovered inside a lacquer case in Mawangdui Tomb 3. This little-known manuscript of unusual design contains a philosophical text on the relationships between things (wu 物), forms (xing 形), names (ming 名), and speech (yan 言), and the text is arranged on the surface of the silk in the form of a densely clustered spiral within a ring inside a square. The writing on the manuscript is also accompanied by colors and shapes that represent a domed Heaven (tian 天) above a square Earth (di 地). Since it was first catalogued in 2004, just a few studies of the *Wu ze you xing tu have been published in Chinese, and the manuscript is almost entirely absent from Western scholarship. This article aims to remedy this situation by providing a detailed description of the manuscript, transcriptions and translations of its contents, a consideration of its philosophical context, and an analysis of its design. In the process, I show that this silk document functioned not just as a convenient surface or carrier for an important philosophical text, but as a material artifact in its own right, one that was designed to have a powerful impact on its viewers, readers, and users, forcing them to move their eyes and bodies in ways that reinforced its central philosophical message.

介绍马王堆*五则有行图手稿

这 *五泽游星图物则有形图丝绸手稿是在马王堆3号墓的一个漆盒内发现的。这本鲜为人知的设计奇特的手稿包含了关于事物之间关系的哲学文本（吴物），形式（兴形），名字（明名）和言语（颜言），文字排列在丝绸表面，呈方形内环内密密麻麻的螺旋状排列。手稿上的文字还伴随着代表圆顶天堂的颜色和形状（田天）在方形地球上方（迪地）。自 2004 年首次编目以来，仅对 *五泽游星图已以中文出版，而该手稿几乎完全没有出现在西方学术研究中。本文旨在通过提供手稿的详细描述、其内容的转录和翻译、对其哲学背景的考虑以及对其设计的分析来纠正这种情况。在这个过程中，我展示了这份丝绸文件不仅作为重要哲学文本的方便表面或载体，而且作为一种物质制品本身，旨在对其观众、读者、和用户，迫使他们以强化其核心哲学信息的方式移动他们的眼睛和身体。
