LAOZI - (ka Lao-zi) on umbes 6. sajandil eKr (teistel andmetel 4. sajandil) Hiinas elanud
poollegendaarne õpetaja, taoismi rajaja. Traditsiooniliselt peetakse teda "Daodejingi" algseks
autoriks. "Laozi" on sageli kasutusel ka "Daodejingi" sünonüümina. Laozi (Chinese: 老子;
pinyin: Lǎozi; Wade–Giles: Lao Tzu; also romanized as Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze,
Laosi, Laocius, and other variations; fl. 6th century BCE) was a philosopher of ancient China,
best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His
association with the Tào Té Chīng has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of
philosophical Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism"). He is also revered as a deity in most
religious forms of Taoist philosophy, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or "One
of the Three Pure Ones"
