Lao Tzu lived to be 160 years old, which is the most conservative estimate in the Historical Records.

Since there is no exact record, Lao Tzu's name, identity, and birth and death are unknown. Lao Tzu's age, historically, is mostly said to be more than 120 to 180 years of longevity. Because the historical documents record longevity, but there are many ways to say longevity.

In modern times, there is a theory of more than 100 years old, which is the so-called "research" inference of doubtful antiquity. It is said that it is a research, but in fact, it is a subjective assumption to falsify the claim that Lao Tzu cannot live a long life under the banner of research. What's more, according to the possible longevity period of human beings, it is possible for Lao Tzu to live to be more than 130 years old.

We can't blindly doubt the ancients, let alone fake a possible age for Lao Tzu for the sake of doubting the ancients.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were periods of great social change from slavery to feudalism, and the struggles between the old and new classes, and between various classes and strata were complex and fierce. Scholars and thinkers representing all classes, strata, and political forces have interpreted or put forward propositions on the universe, society, and everything in accordance with the interests and demands of their own class, strata, or group. The various factions participating in the controversy are known as the "Hundred Schools of Thought" in history.

Among the princes, the main schools were Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, Fa, Ming, Yin and Yang, Bing, Vertical and Horizontal, Agriculture, and Miscellaneous, and the first four schools had the greatest influence in the field of thought at that time.

The social ideals and political ideologies of each family are different, but there is one thing that is worth noting: the idea of great unification. All kinds of social ideals and political ideas were put forward not only for a certain country or a certain family, but for the so-called "world" at that time.

Therefore, Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi, etc., the scholars at that time all took the world as their own responsibility, and were not confined to being prominent in their own country, but could use their ideas, that is, to strive for the realization of their ideals of leveling the world.

The contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was an important stage in the development of China's academic culture, which laid the foundation for the development of Chinese culture in the future and determined its development direction. In the next 2,000 years, the path, characteristics and various problems and ideas of ancient Chinese cultural and academic development (except for the introduction of Buddhism) can be traced back to their origins from the controversy of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period. In terms of understanding the law of academic and cultural development, the controversy of the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period has also given us important enlightenment.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was a period of great social change. In order to maintain a supreme position in the struggle, the princes of the vassal states competed to recruit talented people and use different ideas and theories to make their countries rich and powerful, which created a relaxed academic atmosphere for the contention of a hundred schools of thought. Due to the development of technology, a lot of labor has been liberated, and a lot of human and social resources have been provided for academic research and rise.

At the same time, the progress of science and technology has improved people's understanding of nature and society, prompting people of insight at that time to further think about life and society and put forward their own academic theories. After King Ping moved eastward, the Zhou Dynasty declined, and at that time, "the Son of Heaven lost his official position and studied in Siyi", and the scholars who had gathered in the Zhou Room were scattered all over the place, making the academic desire spread to the lower strata of society. Representatives of different political and ideological schools in society have put forward different views on various issues, creating a situation in which a hundred schools of thought are contending in the ideological field.

The rise of the hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the first great emancipation of the mind in Chinese history, and it played a major role in promoting the development of Chinese society at that time and after.

Regarding the identity of the tomb owner, for more than ten years, scholars have different opinions. According to the books in the burial goods, the "Master of the East Palace" and the two dove sticks on the lacquer-eared cup, most of them believe that the tomb owner was an elderly "intellectual" who was very old, and may have been a teacher of a certain Prince of Chu, such as Mr. Jiang Guanghui's Chen Liang said, Mr. Fan Yuzhou's Huanyuan said, and Mr. Li Yumin's cautious said; Some people believe that the owner of the tomb is Qu Yuan, who died by bouldering and throwing himself into the water, according to the posture of the bones. However, various inferences have not been able to form a consensus in the academic community.

There is no conclusion, only speculation and research.

Although there are also personal feelings mixed in, the overall is very objective and true.
