Lao Tzu is called legendary primarily due to the mystical and semi-mythical aspects surrounding his life and teachings, which have been embellished over centuries. Historically, little concrete evidence exists about his existence, leading to various interpretations of his persona as a philosopher and sage. The foundational text attributed to him, the "Tao Te Ching," is filled with profound wisdom, contributing to his status as a legendary figure in Taoism and Chinese culture. Additionally, the stories of his life, including his supposed birth and departure from society, enhance his legendary status.
