  Zhou Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Laozi
He lived in Zhou for a long time; witnessing the decline of Zhou, he departed.” When he reached the northwest border then separating China from the outside world, Yin Xi, the official in charge of the border pass, asked that he put his thoughts to writing.
