There is a story of his meeting with Confucius (most famously in the Zhuangzi ). Laozi never opened a school but still had many students. He was able to study the works of the Yellow Emperor and other classics. Īccording to traditional accounts, Laozi worked as the Keeper of the Archives (librarian) during the Zhou. The oldest Daodejing writing comes from around 375 BCE. In a third, he appears as a royal astrologer named "Lao Dan" living at the time of Duke Xian during the Qin Dynasty. In another, he has the name "Lao Laizi", and the book has 15 parts. His name was "Er Li" or "Dan Li", and he wrote some a book with two parts before leaving west. In one account, he was an official who lived around the time of Confucius. The first mention to Laozi is in the " Records of the Grand Historian" by Sima Qian. Some think the Daodejing was "a compilation of Taoist sayings by many hands". Some philosophers don't think he was real. Who was he? Was he even real? Laozi, Immortal and Grand Master of Heaven Although these are questionable, they show Laozi's impact on Chinese culture. This family was known as the Longxi Li lineage ( 隴西李氏). For example, the emperors of the Tang dynasty claimed this. Many people of the Li family say they descended from Laozi. During the Tang dynasty, he was called the "Supremely Mysterious and Primordial Emperor" ( 太上玄元皇帝, Tàishàng Xuānyuán Huángdì). A popular posthumous name is Li Dan ( 李 聃, Lǐ Dān). Laozi's personal name is supposedly Li Er (李尔). Laozi's work influenced anti-authoritarian and Legalist philosophers.
A legendary figure of Chinese culture, Laozi may have lived during the Warring States period. Laozi (Lao Tsu, Lao-Tze) was a Chinese philosopher best known for Taoism, the Tao Te Ching, and becoming a deity of Taoism and Chinese folk religions.
