中國(guó)道家思想的創(chuàng)始人是春秋末年的老子。老子，姓李，名耳，他著作的《道德經(jīng)》只有5000多字，卻對(duì)后來的中國(guó)人卻產(chǎn)生了非常深遠(yuǎn)的影響。老子用“道”來說明宇宙萬物的產(chǎn)生和演變，他告訴人們?cè)谒枷牒托袨樯弦惨袷氐赖囊?guī)律和特點(diǎn)，順其自然，以柔克剛，因?yàn)楸砻鬈浫醯臇|西往往本質(zhì)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。
Lived in the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi was the founder of Taoism. His family name was Li and given name was Er. His masterpiece Tao Te Ching, with only 5,000 characters, had a significant impact upon the thoughts of later generations. Laozi applied "Tao" to explain the origin and evolvement of the universe. He maintained that the law of "Tao" could be applied to guide people's thinking and behavior. Everything should be in conformance with the nature. What appears soft and weak can defeat what is hard and strong.
莊子，名周，在他的著作《莊子》中繼承和發(fā)展了老子“道法自然”的觀點(diǎn)，主張將外在的萬物與自我等同起來，將生與死等同起來，莊子追求的是精神世界的超越和逍遙。后人習(xí)慣將二人以“老莊”并稱。
Zhuangzi's given name was Zhou. In his book Zhuangzi, he absorbed and developed Laozi's viewpoint that "Tao is defined by nature" and claimed that everything exterior can be equated with self and life and death are equal. He pursued a spiritual realm of absolute freedom. Descendants usually mention them comparably.
