Teachings of Taoism

Who is Lao Tzu?

Lao Tzu, also known as Lao Tsu, Lao Tse, Lao Zi, Laotze or a number of other ways, is said to have lived in the sixth century BC according to Chinese tradition. However, recent scholars believe this is incorrect place the life of Lao Tzu in the fourth century BC.

Although little is known about the life of Lao Tzu, his cultural significance is important to the lives of generations of Chinese. According to Chinese tradition, Lao Tzu was born in Ku Prefecture of the ChÅ­ state, which today is named Lu yiCounty of the Henan province during the Spring and Autumn Period, roughly between 722 BC and 481 BC. Some legends state he was born with white hair, having spent more than eighty years in his mother's womb, giving him his title Laozi, which means "the old master".


His teachings is very simple, simple as Confucius teachings. His teachings is also Base on his beliefs it is so faithful and religous. I think he is also a good teacher but not good as Confucius do. Maybe it's because Confucius is more intelligent than him. I dont have any idea but that's how I proposed it
