Creation background
According to the literature, Lao Tzu is quiet, studious and knowledgeable. In the process of teaching knowledge by his teacher, Shang Rong, Laozi always gets to the bottom of the matter and is very eager for knowledge. In order to solve doubts, he often looks up at the sun, moon and stars and thinks about what the sky is, so that he often can't sleep. Later, Mr. Shang Rong "really learned everything from the old lady." I suggest that I go to Zhoudu for further study. Literature records: "I visited the doctor in Zhoudu and entered imperial academy. I learned everything about astronomy and geography, and I read everything about poetry, books, Yi, calendars, rituals and music. I learned everything about cultural relics, laws and history books, and I made great progress in my studies. The doctor also recommended him to be an official in the Tibetan room. The Sutra Pavilion is a collection of ancient books in the Zhou Dynasty, which is full of articles and books from all over the world. " Through this experience, Laozi accumulated a wealth of knowledge and made him famous.
Laozi was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the environment was weak in the Zhou Dynasty, and various governors constantly competed for hegemony. The violent turmoil and changes made Lao Tzu witness the suffering of the people. As a Tibetan-guarding history of the Zhou Dynasty, he put forward a series of ideas on governing the country and protecting the people. Yin Guan, the ambassador of keeping the letter, played a great role in completing the Tao Te Ching. When he was young, he was fond of astronomy, reading ancient books, and had a profound cultivation.
Sima Qian recorded in Historical Records Biography of Laozi that Laozi "lived in Zhou for a long time and saw Zhou decline, so he went away." Guan Guan (Order) Yin said: My son must be hidden, and his book must be written by me. Therefore, Lao Tzu said, I should leave with five thousand words of morality and never know what to do. Yin moved Lao Tzu, who traced his life experience, learned lessons from the rise and fall of the dynasty and the safety of the people, and wrote the first and second books, * * * five thousand words, namely the Tao Te Ching.
