AI overview

Laozi is a legendary Chinese philosopher traditionally credited with writing the Tao Te Ching, a foundational text of Taoism that explores the nature of the way things work in the universe and how to live in harmony with them. While popular tradition places him in the 6th century BC, modern scholars believe his biographical details were invented later and that the text was likely written by multiple authors using his name—"Old Master"—to give their ideas an air of ancient wisdom.
