本文對〈緇衣〉的各種版本進行比較，以出土文獻的〈緇衣〉第十四至十六章，即經本第七章與第八章為主要研究對象。這幾章表達出「謹言慎行」的思想，簡本十四章表達君王應慎言，並用絲織品做比喻，具體說明王言的影響力與約束力，並隱含君王的話可能造成不良的影響，但經本的用字已失去此意；十五章表達君子不輕易說話與行動，經本寫人民將會受到影響而「言不危行，行不危言」。但從文獻中可知與儒家思想不符，應做「言不過行，行不過言」，也就是「言行相符」的概念；十六章說明君子即使行動，也是謹慎的。除了引導他人，更重要的是在行為上做表率，經本則說用行為禁止他人，與儒家思想強調「以德化民」的概念互相衝突。 在章節架構上，簡本的前後章互相關聯。整體來說，十三到十七章說君王在言行上要謹慎，進而說明君子在言行上是謹慎的。在闡述「言」、「行」的思想時，簡本可以分別討論，但從簡本十四到十七章的內容架構被更動的情形，可知經本的架構有將「言行」放在一起討論的趨勢。 總之，可了解簡本與經本〈緇衣〉無論是用字上或思想上，都有相當的差異，從中可知儒家思想在傳播與時代變遷的過程中，如何產生變化。

This text compares Ziyi（緇衣） various editions, in order to excavate the Ziyi of the literature from the chapter 14 to 16, that is, chapter 7 and 8 of scriptures are research object. These chapters express the thought of “speak and act cautiously”, chapter 14 of the edition of bamboo slip expresses emperor should speak carefully, and takes silk fabrics for an example, explaining the emperor’s word of influence and engagement specifically, and it may cause negative influence to express the emperor's words. Chapter 15 expresses the emperors, who speak and behave cautiously, the result that the gentleman does it in this way, scriptures written people will be “Speech doesn’t endanger behavior, behavior doesn’t endanger speech.” But we can know it is not correspond to Confucianism in literature, “Speech doesn’t endanger behavior, behavior doesn’t endanger speech.” should be “Speech doesn’t overdo behavior, behavior doesn’t overdo speech.” Chapter 16 describes even the gentleman takes action, it is quite cautious, besides guiding others, the more important thing is being an example for behavior; and scriptures written “To prohibit people with behavior”, and it conflicts with Confucianism which emphasized the concept “To educate people with moral”. In chapter of structure, we can know the edition of bamboo slip （Ziyi） on the expression of the thought. It has clear track of thought to follow. When the edition of bamboo slip explains the thought of “speech and behavior”, we can discuss speech and behavior separately. However, scriptures modify the structure of the edition of bamboo slip; there is a tendency to discuss “speech and behavior” together. In a word, the edition of bamboo slip and scriptures has made the modification to a certain extent, no matter on the choice of words or on the thought, all have a suitable difference, and we can know one kind of appearance of the pre-Qin period Confucianism from it, and how Han Dynasty revise to conform with Confucianism at that time. We can find out the political, social changes from pre-Qin period Han Dynasty, and how Confucianism changed with era.
