Where is Lao Zi from?

Laozi was born in Ku County, Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty (Ku County, the name of an ancient county, is generally believed by historians to be in Luyi County, Henan Province today)? .

Lao Zi, surnamed Li Minger, is called Bo Yang. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the year of birth and death is unknown (Hu Shi once speculated that Laozi was born in the early years of Zhou Lingwang in 570 BC), an ancient thinker, philosopher, writer and historian in China, the founder and main representative of the Taoist school.

Laozi was regarded as the ancestor of Li by the emperor of Tang Dynasty. He is a world cultural celebrity and one of the top 100 historical celebrities in the world. There is also the Tao Te Ching (also known as Laozi), whose core essence is simple dialectics and advocates inaction.

Extended data:

About the birthplace of Laozi, there are theories about Lu Yi in Henan and Yang Guo in Anhui.

1, The History of Justice clearly records that Ku County is close to Pengcheng, and quotes Ku Di Zhi as saying: "Ku County is at the boundary of Guyang County in Bozhou, and there are nine wells left in the temple, which is also in zhenyuan county, Bozhou today." Where is Guyang County in Bozhou? Is it in Lu Yi? Guyang must have something to do with valley water. There is no valley water in Lu Yi, and the valley water has entered the whirlpool of Yang Guo today.

2. Lu Yi, Henan Province said that Laozi was from Luyi, Henan Province. This statement was not disputed before 1990. It was not until after 1990 that Anhui raised an objection to where Laozi came from, and there was a debate about where Laozi came from.
