An exhaustive description of interrogative sentences in the conventional version, the silk manuscripts and the bamboo slips of Tao Te Ching is done by qualitative approach. It is feasible to apply the Interrogative Feature Attraction Hypothesis to the explanation of the syntactic features of wh-questions in Tao Te Ching, and thus it is of great theoretical significance to the study of linguistic universality.
