On the Origin of Laozi's Tao Te Ching

In 520 BC, the Emperor Zhou Jing died. His son contended for the throne.

One night, I was awakened by a shout of killing outside. He said to himself, Oh, it's fighting again!

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. I get up, get dressed, light the lamp and open the door.

The small official who stood guard in the Tibetan room said to Laozi with tears in his face: "Sir, it's not good! A group of defeated soldiers snatched all the books on classics and history in the Tibetan room and ran to Chu. "

"ah! Is there such a thing? "

Lao Tzu hurried to the Tibetan room with his beadle. Sure enough, the book he used to live alone disappeared.

Lao Tzu left tears sadly and kept saying, "This time it's over, nothing more. I have to get out of here! "

Three days later, I left Loy on a big green cow. I want to travel to Qin.

One night, Lao Tzu came to a pass in the state of Qin. Guanyin knew Laozi a long time ago and happily invited him to stay in Guancheng. Hearing that Laozi was going to Qin, Guanyin sincerely said to him, "Everyone in the world admires Mr. Wang's knowledge, but you must leave some works for future generations!" I advise you to stay here and write knowledge! "

I was so grateful that I decided to stay for a while and write a book. After more than half a month, he wrote the famous article Tao Te Ching. Is divided into two parts, * * * more than five thousand words.

Guan Yinlian read the Tao Te Ching twice. Although he can't understand many places, he admires Lao Tzu's knowledge even more.

At the farewell banquet, Guanyin respectfully said to Laozi, "After reading your work, I think you live up to your reputation."

Lao Tzu said cheerfully, "You flatter me. As long as someone understands, I will be comforted. "

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Lao Tzu bid farewell to Guanyin and set off for Qin.
