We do not know what year Laozi (Lao Tzu) died. In fact we do not even know what century he lived in. There are really no contemporary historical records of Laozi, and there is nothing in his work that dates it accurately.

There are numerous writings on and legends of Laozi. In some he was a contemporary of Confucius, who is held to have lived from about 551 to about 479 BC. There is a legend that he taught or otherwise influenced Buddha, who is held to have lived between about 563 to about 483 BC. He is also said in some writings to have been a historian for Duke Zian of Qin, who reigned from 384 to 362 BC.

Who was Laozi?

Laozi was a Chinese philosopher who created the idea of Daoism. Laozi thought that both Communism and Legalism were a little off with there ideas to re-create a better society, so he came up with the brilliant idea to combine them. From that, he got the philosophy of Daoism. It wasn't too strict, but it did have a few set rules/guidelines for the people of China to follow. It lasted for over 200 years, while Legalism lasted less than 50. Obviously, Laozi was on the right track.
