About Laozi
Laozi, also known as Lao Tzu, was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer, traditionally considered the founder of Daoism (Taoism) and attributed as the author of the "Dao De Jing" (Tao Te Ching), a foundational text of the philosophy. Believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE during the Zhou Dynasty, Laozi's teachings emphasize harmony with the Dao (Tao), natural simplicity, and the pursuit of wisdom through humility and non-action (wu wei). Revered as a sage, his influence extends beyond philosophy into spiritual and political thought throughout Chinese history and beyond.
