TAO RIVER **|**|** 24X36IN;UNFRAMED; This poster shows a Torii shrine standing in water. At the bottom it says: Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive. It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao. -Lao Tsu. Laozi (also Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tzu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Lao Zi, Laocius, and other variations) was a philosopher of ancient China and is a central figure in Taoism (also spelled Daoism). Laozi literally means Old Master and is generally considered an honorific. Laozi is revered as a god in most religious forms of Taoism. Taishang Laojun is a title for Laozi in the Taoist religion, which refers to him as One of the Three Pure Ones. According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. Historians variously contend that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures, that he is a mythical figure, or that he actually lived in the 4th century BC. A central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Laozi in their lineage. Throughout history, Laozi's work was embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements.
