Laozi and Taoism

Hello, my name is Laozi and today I will be telling you about my life. I was born in 604 B.C.E. I am a native of Chu, a southern state in the Zhou Dynasty. In the beginning of my life, i served as a keeper of archival records at the court of Zhou. I also consulted with Confucius. During the Eastern Han Dynasty I developed the religion Taoism. It originated as philosophy in anicent China during the era of Warring States from 475 to 221 B.C. Taoism means the way. Nature is one of the main concepts or therioes of Taoism. It is difficult to describe Taoist concepts simply because Taoism is about defining the undefinable.
