The "Tao Te Ching," also known as the "Daodejing" or "Laozi," is an ancient Chinese text that is a fundamental work in the Taoist (Daoist) tradition of Chinese philosophy and religion. It is attributed to Laozi (Lao Tzu), an older contemporary of Confucius, who is traditionally considered to have been born in the 6th century BCE, although the exact dates are a matter of debate.
