Is the old gentleman in China myth the embodiment of Lao Zi?

We all know that Grandfather is a character in The Journey to the West. When the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, Grandfather kept the Monkey King in the blast furnace for 7749 days. In the end, instead of surrendering to Monkey Sun, he turned him into a real eye. In myths and legends, Taishang Laojun is recognized as the founder of Taoism, and his Bagua array is even more shocking, with many disciples. Many people think that Laozi is the ancestor of Taoism, so the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun in fairy tales is also the embodiment of Laozi. Let's take a look together.

According to Shan Hai Jing, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tian Tongzu are the three gods of Pangu, and their status is naturally dragon. For example, many musical instruments of Taishang Laojun are recorded. On the way to learn from the scriptures, Tang Priest met many monsters who were gods and beasts under the seat of the old gentleman. In the end, it's too late for the old gentleman to go out in person, or lend Sun Monkey's treasure to solve the disaster.

The alchemy, blast furnace and Bagua array of Taishang Laojun are typical representatives of Taoism. Laozi lived in the Warring States period, and everything was based on belief theory, which was completely contrary to other people's associations. "Tao can be Tao, very Tao; Names can be named, but they are very famous. The typical proposition of this family is the words and deeds taught by Laozi and Taishang Laojun. It can be seen that Taishang Laojun and Laozi are both Taoist figures.

Myth, after all, is a myth, which has the possibility of beautification and virtuality, so it may be the embodiment of Laozi to be called the too old gentleman. Because at that time, the author tended to Laozi's Taoist theory, which naturally shaped the incarnation of Laozi.
