Lao Tzu the Chinese philosopher was also known as Lao Zi, who’s presence goes back to the 6th century B.C. was credited with founding the Chinese philosophical system named ‘Taoism’. In addition, Tzu is the author of the Tao-Te-Ching, where he explains further about his thoughts and beliefs. He was known to be a peer of the great and most admired Chinese teacher and philosopher ‘Confucius’, but some legends believe that they both were same person or that he existed before Confucius. The origin of Tzu is extremely arguable and even after centuries of research very little is known about his life.
