Abstract The Duicewen Sandao by Luo Binwang in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a perfect piece of work. However, related issues on this work still remain and are in need of further research.Both Luo Binwang and Wang Bo submitted their written statements to the local governers, and Wang succeeded in occupying a prominent position in office. However, we cannot infer from this event that Luo also succeeded in his effort to obtain his position. The Shice Texts by Luo are different from Zhiju Shice in both contents and form, but Luo's Cewen and Duice Texts are identical with his other articles. With a comparative study of related documents, we may conclude that Luo did not take part in the test of Zhiju and the other tests, and therefore he did not obtain the high position in office. The main reason for his failure to take part in the test is that he was not recommended. That may be the result of his work background at Dao Wang's House, and his article in the Shice Texts may be a piece of imitation work or an offer to the imperial court. All these may account for the fact that there is no record in Dengkeji Kao or there may exist some careless mistakes in the works concerned.
