Laozi
Laozi (; also Lao Tse, Laotze, Lao Zi, and other variations) was a philosopher of ancient China and an important figure in Daoism (also called Taoism). Laozi literally means "Old Master" and is generally considered an honorific. According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. Many historians contend that Laozi actually lived in the 4th century BC, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period. Laozi was credited with writing the central Taoist work the Daodejing (also called the Tao Te Ching), which was originally known simply by his name. Taishang Laojun is a title for Laozi in the Taoist religion, which refers to him as "One of the Three Pure Ones".

Lao-jun
[Chinese] The name of Lao-zi (author of the Dao-de jing and contemporary of Confucius, 6th century BCE) in his deified form. Together with Yuan-shi tian-zong he is one of the highest deities of religious Taoism. The deification began in the 2nd century BCE when he already was a legendary figure, reported to have lived to an unusually high age. He became one of the most important deities during the Late Han Dynasty. Some followers of the Tao considered him to be an emaciation of the primordial chaos. Other followers have gone as far as to question his divinity altogether. His name means "Master Lao" and is also known as Tai-shang lao-jun ("Supreme Master Lao").
