		Laozi's response to the officer's request was the Tao Te Ching.
		Laozi's most famous follower, Zhuang Zi, wrote a book that had a great deal of influence on Chinese Literati, through the ideas of individualism, freedom, carefree living, and art, which may well be the cornerstone of Chinese aesthetic, although the author never speaks about it.

	Taoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the early Han, Laozi came to be worshipped as divine—either in association with or conflated with the Yellow Emperor.
		Laozi later describes a dao as "reversing" and the texts emphasises opposites, i.e.: high and low, hard and soft, etc. The Mawangdui version of the text contains similar passages, vide: ch.1, 3, 40).

	Laozi
		Laozi (Lao-tzu, in “Wade-Giles” romanization) flourished during the sixth century B.C.E. and was the “founder” of Daoism, according to Chinese tradition.
		The reception of the Laozi in modern Asia and the West falls outside the scope of this article; nevertheless, it is important to note that the Laozi should be regarded not only as a work of early Chinese philosophy but also in a larger context as a classic of world literature with keen contemporary relevance.
		The Laozi, one assumes, is not indifferent to the forces of disintegration tearing the country asunder, although the remedy it proposes is subject to interpretation.

	Reportret: Laozi
		Laozi believed that it was better to adapt oneself spontaneously to the circumstances of life than to force, to worry, or to try to get hold on something.
		Consequently Laozi belonged to the upper class of Chinese society and, in general, its fashion of clothing appears to have been rather consistent from those early images up till the end of the nineteenth century ce.
		It's clear though that Laozi lived at a time in which the way of depicting was changing (for that matter in contrast to the mentioned way to dress, or the practice of writing, for example) — in the age that's currently known as Dong Zhou (= ‘Eastern’; Zhou).

	Laozi - Uncyclopedia
		Laozi met Madame Christina Dior (or 'CD', as Laozi was fond of calling her, and since Laozi was 'Your Father', CD was obviously Your Mom) in his twenties.
		As Laozi was murmuring to himself that the grandest and most high form of dining was the so-called Tantric Eat, or mind-eating, a life-sized space-chick appeared before Laozi and proposed to offer him lifetime unlimited supply of Doubly Bloody Spicy Chicken Wings in return for his wisdom on eating.
		Followers mourned for Laozi the world over, and in western countries, especially in the USA and Western Europe, Ramadan, or fasting for the during of a whole month, is observed for the remembrance of Laozi every year.

	Dao De Jing: INTRODUCTION ALONG WITH FIRST FOUR STANZAS
		Laozi's liberating vision is the reverse of paternalistic socialization based on the power of the manifest personal example of an educated elite.
		Laozi delinked virtue from a masculine heaven and reconnected it to the Way, forming a new parent-child relation and leaving heaven free to enter into new relationships—with earth, with the Way—or to remain single and independent.
		Laozi's criticism of expertise is discussed in the body of the present work, e.g., in stanzas 19 and 57.

	Wu wei (Non-Action) in Daoism
		Laozi’s famous slogan has puzzled interpreters for centuries and has given rise to numerous interpretations.
		Laozi, by contrast, opposes desires precisely because of their link to language.
		Laozi’s metaphor for this complex analysis is his invitation to be like the "nameless, uncarved, p’u (block, wood, simplicity) which he says is simply freedom from desire.

	Laozi (Lao-tzu) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Laozi is the name of a legendary Daoist philosopher, the alternate title of the early Chinese text better known in the West as the Daodejing, and the moniker of a deity in the pantheon of organized “religious Daoism” that arose during the later Han dynasty (25-220 CE).
		The Outer Chapters of that work have ten logia in which Laozi is the main figure, four of which contain direct attacks on the Confucian virtues of ren, yi, and li that are reminiscent of passages from the Daodejing and probably date from the period in which that collection was reaching some near final form.
		Laozi instructed Yin to study hard and await a summons which would be delivered to him in the marketplace in Chengdu.

	Asia Times - Part 4: Taoism and modernity
		It describes Laozi as a person named Li Er (born around 604 BC) who worked as a librarian in the court of the State of Eastern Zhou (Dong Zhou) during the Spring and Autumn Period (Chunqiu, 770-481 BC).
		Laozi was reported to have met only once the young Confucius (Kongfuzi, 551-479 BC), who was 53 years his junior.
		Laozi is generally accepted as author of the Classic of the Virtuous Path (Daode Jing), although evidence has been uncovered to suggest that it was actually written by others long after his time, albeit based on ideas ascribed to him.

	Laozi Debate
		The Guodian Laozi is 150 years older than any other known version and was found in a small tomb possibly belonging to a tutor of one of the crown princes of the Warring States period (476-221 B.C.) kingdom of Chu.
		The Great One is written in the same hand as the Laozi strips in the bundle, and it is not clear whether this new text was considered part of the larger one.
		The Laozi's antiauthoritarian teachings have been considered a counterpoint to Confucianism's reverence for ritual and hierarchy, and the two philosophical schools have long argued over whether Daoism or Confucianism is older.

	Taoism
		Laozi's is the most famous example of this dao of reversal, though overtones can be found in Zhuangzi's description of "the perfect" person or ability as one that is so incomprehensible and so irrelevant to our concerns that he appears as the opposite whatever we normally respect.
		So what is Laozi denying when he is made to say "names that can be named are not constant names?" The skepticism here can be read in two ways.
		Laozi's existence is widely disputed partly because the traditional story seems impossible for one person to satisfy.

	The Drunken Boat
		Laozi was the legendary author of the Dao De Jing, a collection of prose and verse wisdom literature that is considered the seminal and essential work of Daoism.
		Since Laozi also means “old man,“ and there is evidence of a body of wisdom literature whose various book titles all translate as “elder“ or “old man,“ it may be that this collection is the lone survivor of this lost genre.
		Laozi cultivated the way and virtue, and his teachings aimed at self-effacement.

	Laozi
		Laozi (Lao-tzu, in Wade-Giles”; romanization) flourished during the sixth century B.C.E. and was the “founder” of Daoism, according to Chinese tradition.
		It was not until the Han dynasty (206 B.C.E.-220 C.E.), when the teachings of Laozi, Zhuangzi, and others were seen to share certain insights centering on the concept of Dao, that they were classified together under the rubric of philosophical Daoism”; (daojia).
		That is to say, different commentators were shaped by the spirit of their age in their approach to the classic, so that it would be appropriate to speak of a Han Laozi,” “Tang Laozi,” or “Song Laozi,” each with its own agenda (Xuanjing yuanzhi fahui, DZ 703; fasc.

	Taoism - Crystalinks
		Classical Taoist philosophy, formulated by Laozi (the Old Master, 5th century B.C.), the anonymous editor of the Daodejing (Classic of the Way and its Power), and Zhuangzi (3rd century B.C.), was a reinterpretation and development of an ancient nameless tradition of nature worship and divination.
		If Taoist ideas and images inspired in the Chinese a love of nature and an occasional retreat to it from the cares of the world to rest and heal, it also inspired an intense affirmation of life: physical life -- health, Well being, vitality, longevity, and even immortality.
		Laozi and Zhuangzi had reinterpreted the ancient nature worship and esoteric arts, but they crept back into the tradition as ways of using knowledge of the Dao to enhance and prolong life.
