The wisest books ever written and one of the greatest gifts ever given to humankind. The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi , also known as Lao Tzu or Laozi .The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The oldest excavated portion dates back to the late 4th century BC, but modern scholarship dates other parts of the text as having been written-or at least compiled-later than the earliest portions of the Zhuangzi . The Tao Te Ching , along with the Zhuangzi , is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism . It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion , including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism , which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. Many artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners , have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has spread widely outside East Asia and it is among the most translated works in world literature . About the Author Lao Tzu also rendered as Laozi commonly translated as "Old Master") and Lao-Tze , was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. He is the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching , the founder of philosophical Taoism, and a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions. A semi-legendary figure, Lao Tzu was usually portrayed as a 6th-century BC contemporary of Confucius, but some modern historians consider him to have lived during the Warring States period of the 4th century BC. A central figure in Chinese culture, Laozi is claimed by both the emperors of the Tang dynasty and modern people of the Li surname as a founder of their lineage. Laozi's work has been embraced by both various anti-authoritarian movements and Chinese Legalism.
