Laozi, born in 507 AD, is considered one of the most prominent figures who contributed to the establishment of Taoism. This philosophy played a significant role in the development of alchemy thousands of years ago through its quest for the elixir of life and the secret of immortality.

The reader will note Laozi's belief in the unity of existence and his faith in the supreme celestial law, which is the origin of life, activity, and movement for all beings in heaven and on Earth. He particularly emphasizes and reiterates the greatness of the Creator, whom he refers to as 'the Great'.
