Childhood & Early Life
Lao Tzu’s personal life is still shrouded in mystery and there are many legends associated with his birth and life. The only reliable biography of him is the ‘Shiji’ written by historian Sima Qian of 145 BC. EDIT
According to the Shiji (his biography), Lao Tzu was born in the Ku County of the state of Chu, the present day Luyi County of the Henan Province. His family name was ‘Li’ while, ‘Dan’ was his designation. EDIT
Legend says that he was born after spending eight or eighty years in his mother's womb, for which he was called the ‘the old child’. EDIT
At that time, the Zhou Dynasty flourished and he worked as a ‘shi’ or historian at the royal court. EDIT
Somewhere around this time, he was known to have met the great Confucius and, supposedly, criticized his arrogance. Confucius on the other hand, was so fascinated by the scholar that he drew a comparison between him and a dragon which glides on the winds and through the clouds in the sky.
