Lao Tzu

Laozi (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ; Wade-Giles: Lao tzu; also Lao Tse, Laotze, Lao Zi, and other variations) was a
philosopher of ancient China and is a central figure in Taoism (also spelled "Daoism"). Laozi literally means "Old
Master" and is generally considered an honorific. Laozi is revered as a god in religious forms of Taoism. Taishang
Laojun is a title for Laozi in the Taoist religion, which refers to him as "One of the Three Pure Ones".

According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. Historians variously contend that Laozi is a synthesis
of multiple historical figures, that he is a mythical figure, or that he actually lived in the 4th century BC, concurrent with
the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period.[1] Laozi was credited with writing the central Taoist work
the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching), which was originally known simply as the Laozi.

A central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Laozi in their lineage. Zhuangzi, widely
considered the intellectual and spiritual successor of Laozi, had a notable impact on Chinese literature, culture and
spirituality. Throughout history, Laozi's work was embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements.
