I went west to Hangu Pass. Where did he go?
According to historical records, Lao Tzu went out to Hangu Pass in the west and was ordered to write a book in Yin, leaving behind a 5,000-word magnum opus "Tao Te Ching" in the history of China thought. Then he rode on a big green cow and went west, but there was no news. This has aroused the interest of many archaeologists and historians, but so far no conclusive evidence has been drawn. Some people say that he went to India through quicksand, and I went to India to preach and taught a great disciple like Sakyamuni. Many people in the past dynasties thought that this statement was just made up by Taoism in order to raise itself and belittle other religions. Some people say that Lao Tzu settled in Lintao, Gansu Province in his later years, and taught retired elders to refine inner alchemy, maintain health and cultivate monasticism. After gaining the Tao, he "soared" on Lintao Transcendental Platform. Others guessed at random that the law and order was poor at that time, and someone might rob halfway and cause accidental death. There is also a saying that Lao Tzu is not going west, but east. It is recorded in Zhuangzi Heaven that Lao Zi left Zhou Shi and "returned home" after leaving his post. Laozi's hometown is in today's Luyi County, Henan Province, not far from Qufu where Confucius is located. Confucius also visited the legendary "Confucius asked Li" Lao Zi. This incident is recorded in Zhuangzi, Everything goes wrong, Lv Chunqiu and The Book of Rites, and Ceng Zi asked, which shows that Lao Tzu's statement of retiring to the east is more reliable.
