creative background
according to the literature, Lao Tzu is quiet, studious and knowledgeable. In the process of his teacher, Shang Rong, teaching knowledge, Lao Tzu always gets to the bottom of the matter and is very eager for knowledge. In order to solve his doubts, he often looks up at the sun, moon and stars and thinks about what the sky is, so that he often can't sleep.
Later, Mr. Shang Rong "really learned everything from the old lady." Recommend Laozi to study in Zhoudu. Documentary records: Lao Tzu went to Zhou, visited the doctor, entered Imperial College, learned everything about astronomy, geography and human relations, learned everything about cultural relics, laws and historical books, and made great progress in his studies. The doctor also recommended him to be an official in the Tibetan room.
The Tibetan-guarding room is the collection place of ancient books of the Zhou Dynasty, which is full of articles and books from all over the world. Through this experience, Laozi has accumulated rich knowledge and made him famous.
