Written around the 6th century BC by the Taoist sage Lao Tzu. In ancient China, Lao Tzu, famous for his wisdom, was the keeper of the Imperial Library .
Perceiving the growing corruption of the government in China, he decided to leave for the countryside. On his way, the guard at the city gates asked Lao Tzu to write out the essence of his understanding to benefit future generations. Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, left, and was never heard of again.
