Lao Tzu

Philosopher

Lao Tzu was a legendary Chinese philosopher traditionally regarded as the author of the Tao Te Ching, one of the foundational texts of Taoism. Modern scholarship generally considers him a semi mythical figure whose name, meaning 'Old Master', may represent an archetype rather than a single historical person.
