Lao Zi CN

Lao Zi

0604-01-01 — -600ac · Império Chu

Lao Zi (or Lao Tzu) is traditionally credited as the author of the "Tao Te Ching" and a central figure in Taoist philosophy. His historical existence is debated, but his influence through the teachings on the Tao – the Way – is immeasurable. His philosophy emphasizes harmony with nature, simplicity, non-action (wu wei), and wisdom through introspection and observation of the universe.
