This video is about Laozi
This video is about Laozi (Lao Tzu), the reputed founder of Daoism (Taoism), teacher of Confucius, author of the Daodejing (Tao te Ching) and master of Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu). These notions comprise much of the traditional account of the history of Laozi. Throughout the video, I establish the importance of attempting to answer the question "Who is Laozi?" I present two answers, the traditional account, presented by Sima Qian's Shiji (94 BCE), and an alternative account, with the help of scholars like A. C. Graham and D. C. Lau. Using both, we are able to work out the evolution of the legend of Laozi and how he achieved a "philosopher-sage" status by the middle of the early Han.
