How old have I lived in history?

Laozi is a very mysterious figure in the history of China. According to legend, Laozi's mother was pregnant with him for 72 years and could not bear children. Finally, she took out her left armpit with a knife. Generally speaking, this fetus has been in the mother's stomach for 72 years, and it should have been petrified. There is indeed news that a fetus has been in the present uterus for 40 years, and it has long been stillborn, and it was not discovered until it was old to do B-ultrasound. Of course, Lao Tzu is not an ordinary person, so he was born alive and kicking, but his hair and beard were all white, so he was named Lao Tzu. That is, an ordinary person has spent his life, and at this time his life has just begun.

In addition, there is a legend that Laozi is actually a fairy and Laozi is just one of his identities. According to fairy tales, Lao Zi was called Yu in Fuxi, Guang in Huangdi, and became Red Essence in Zhuan Xu, and appeared in Yaodi, Shang Tang and other periods. Although their names are different, they all did one thing: obey God's will and help these people become kings!

However, it is not surprising that Lao Tzu is an ancestor. In fact, he is the incarnation of the old gentleman on the throne. The old gentleman on the throne has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. It is also natural to help the younger generation on earth. Maybe Lao Tzu's modern is still alive, and the avatar doesn't know which fortune teller.

Of course, this is just a myth and legend, but the date of birth and death of Laozi has never been known, so it is not clear how old Laozi lived. But according to historical records, Confucius asked Laozi several times, and then said to his disciples with emotion: "Birds, I know they can fly;" Fish, I know it can swim; Beast, I know it can walk. As for the dragon, I don't know, it took the wind and cloud to heaven. I saw Lao Tzu today, and he is still a dragon! " I am as mysterious as a dragon.

Although the birth and death of Laozi is unknown, the birth and death of Confucius is actually well documented. Therefore, according to the age of Confucius, Laozi is about 20 years older than Confucius and was born around 57 1 year BC.

Then when did I die? I really don't know this. The last documented record of Laozi was in 5 16 A.D., when the son of Zhou's royal family was driven away by another son of Zhou, but he swept away hundreds of years of royal collections, especially various documents, and brought them to Chu. As all the documents were emptied, Lao Zi, a librarian, was laid off naturally, so he rode a green cow and went to the west leisurely. After leaving an eternal moral classic in Hanguguan, he disappeared. So, when I disappeared, I was about 55.

As for where I went after I left Hanguguan westbound, no one knows. Only the books of later alchemists and Taoists are recorded sporadically, but they are not enough to refuse. It is also said that I lived 1, 0 1 year, and finally soared in Lintao, Gansu. In the later Tang Dynasty, Li claimed to be a descendant of Laozi, but he was obviously attached, so this was not enough.

It is also said that Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha, that is, Lao Tzu went all the way to India and wrote books and articles along the way, attracting a large number of Christians. But this was obviously born after Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains. In order to get involved with Taoism in China, Lao Zi changed to Hu Jing, which was also forged by later generations.

As a result, the figure of Laozi in history was finally fixed on the back of Hangu Pass in the west. This year, I was 55 years old.
