Abstract Most remaining early ancient Chinese classical literatures can be dated back to before Tang Dynasty. These literatures have a long history, passing down from oral tradition to written versions, then from hand-copied versions to final versions, and finally becoming classics. Inevitably some variations might occur during this process so that the remaining classical literatures are from complex sources and there exist different opinions on author issues. Chinese and foreign academics have had in-depth and heated discussion on these complicated issues and heretofore they have never stopped. At present, early Chinese hand-copied literatures once again become a hot topic which involves a lot theoretical thinking and is worthy of attention. From historical perspective, this paper combs through the spread of early Chinese literatures. Then through comparison between Chinese and Western historical conception, it explores the basic approaches of studying hand-copied literatures: equal stress shall be laid on the three approaches of intensive textual reading, textual examination, and theoretical thinking. It is expected this will trigger a heated discussion among academics and a basic consensus will be formed on this issue.
