The moment
The Daodejing, the Classic of the Way and its Power, is traditionally credited to the sage Laozi, said to have been an elder contemporary of Confucius. It praises the Dao, the nameless Way, and wúwéi, effortless action. Most scholars think the text took shape between the fourth and third centuries BCE, and whether Laozi existed at all is still debated.
