How old did the real Laozi (Li Er) live in history?
According to legend, his mother got pregnant in 198 1 and gave birth to him from the armpit. I was born with white eyebrows and a white beard, so I was called Laozi. Laozi lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and worked as a librarian in Luoyi (now Yang Guo, Anhui) (equivalent to the director of the National Library). He is knowledgeable and versatile. When Confucius traveled around the world, he went to Luoyi to ask Laozi. In his later years, Lao Zi took Qingniu to the west and wrote a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching (also known as Tao Te Ching, or Lao Zi for short, or Lao Zi's 5,000 articles) in Hanguguan (now Lingbao, Henan). In Taoism, Laozi is the eighteenth incarnation of the old gentleman.

According to legend, Lao Tzu trained Yi Xi, the general commander of Hanguguan. After that, I went west to Kunwu (now zhouzhi county, Xi City, Shaanxi Province). Seeing the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers (Zhong Nanshan Tianyu River) and peaks here, I stopped here and made grass for this building to practice the scriptures. Spread to this day, it is called Louguantai. It is the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, national AAAA-level tourist scenic spots, and contains more than 300 inkstones of scholars and poets in past dynasties. History is called the birthplace of Taoism. Lao Tzu was buried in Xilouguan, eight kilometers away from here, and there is still the existing Lao Tzu's tomb.
