Tao Te Ching, also known as Tao Te Ching, Laozi's Five Thousand Words and Laozi's Five Thousand Articles, was a work written by Laozi (that is, Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period before the separation of the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient China, which was highly praised by the philosophers at that time. In the pre-Qin period, Lu's Notes on the Spring and Autumn Period was called Shangzhijing, and in the early Han Dynasty it was called Laozi. This book has been honored as Tao Te Ching since Emperor Han Jing, and it was translated into Sanskrit by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Tang Gaozong respected Tao Te Ching as Shang Jing, and when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty respected it as Tao Te Ching.
Lao Zi, surnamed Li Minger, is called Bo Yang. Qu, a native of Guxian, Chu, lived between 57 1 and 47 1 years ago. He was a great philosopher, thinker and founder of Taoist school in ancient China, and was honored as the ancestor of Li by the emperor of Tang Dynasty. Laozi is a world cultural celebrity and one of the world's 100 historical celebrities, including Tao Te Ching (also known as Laozi). The essence of his works is simple dialectics, which advocates inaction, and his theory has a far-reaching impact on the development of China's philosophy. In Taoism, Laozi is regarded as the ancestor of Taoism.
