Taoism is a religious tradition that indicates living in harmony with the Tao. Taoism has influenced the Chinese culture over centuries. Laozi has been regarded as founder of Taoism. It is dated to the late 4th century BC.
The founder of Taoism is generally considered to be Laozi (or Lao Tse, Lao Tu, or other variants). A link can be found below. The founder of Taoism is believed by many religious historians to be Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), whose life overlapped that of Confucius (551-479 BCE). Lao-tzu (whose real name was Li Er) is generally listed as the founder of Taoism and author of its primary text, the Tao Te Ching.
Taoism as a philosophy is based on Chinese texts by Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu. Taoism as a religious movement consists of several sects. I don't think it can be traced to a single founder.
Chinese traditional religion does not have a single founder, as it is a complex amalgamation of various beliefs, practices, and philosophies that have developed over thousands of years. Key influences include ancient folk traditions, ancestor worship, Taoism, and Confucianism. Notable figures such as Laozi, the founder of Taoism, and Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, have significantly shaped Chinese religious thought, but the religion itself is more a cultural and spiritual tapestry than a singular tradition.
