He was Head Librarian of the imperial archives of King Wu of Zhou.
His wise counsel attracted many followers, but he refused to write down his ideas. He believed that written words might one day become formal dogmas. He also did not lay down any rigid code of behavior.
He believed that humans and everything else in the universe, are constantely influencing each other, so he advised to observe nature laws, develop intuition through meditation, and build personal power to use them to lead life with love. Confucius visited Lao Tzu and recognising his deep understanding of life he named him - the Mysterious Dragon.
