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).

 confucianism - canon themes confucius (kong zi, kongfuzi, k'ung-fu-tzu)
The Chinese philosopher and social reformer, Kong Zi, (Wade-Giles - K'ung-fu-tzu; or Pinyin - Kongfuzi; see also - Kong Qiu), or Master K'ung, is best known by the Latin form of his name, Confucius, which was bestowed by Jesuit missionaries centuries after his death.
Confucius was apparently born about 551 BC in the Watch Tower (Queli) district of Qufu, then the capital of the state of Lu of the Zhou kingdom.
The tradition he left was not originally intended as a philosophical learning, as much as a "Way of the Gentleman", and in Chinese "Confucianism" is better rendered as "The School of the learned".
