Posted by: bao_pu (Scott Barnwell)	the opening of chapter 54 here on ctext begins 善建不拔 and is correct with comparison to the photographic representation. However, this is not Wang Bi's text, which reads 善建者不拔 (which can be seen in Wang Bi's commentary on ctext). All texts of Wang Bi's text that I can find all have the latter, (as do the Guodian, Mawangdui, Heshanggong, Yan Zun and Fuyi). This may be a mistake in the copy used.
