"Laozi: The Enigmatic Chinese Philosopher Riding the Buffalo" Laozi, also known as Lao-Tsu, is a revered figure in Chinese philosophy and religion. This ceramic statuette from the Qin dynasty showcases his representation climbing on a buffalo at the Guimet Museum in Paris. During the Muromachi period, an unknown artist depicted Sakyamuni, Confucius, and Lao-tzu under a pine tree. This artwork symbolizes their profound wisdom and influence during that era. In another Ming dynasty artwork by an anonymous creator, we see Sakyamuni, Lao Tzu, and Confucius together again. Their presence signifies their enduring impact on Chinese culture throughout history. An engraving portrays Laozi riding on a water buffalo—an image often associated with him—highlighting his connection to nature and simplicity. A painted wood depiction of Lao-Tzu wearing the crown of a Master exemplifies his esteemed status as one of China's greatest thinkers. Another engraving captures Laozi's essence as an ancient philosopher whose teachings continue to inspire generations even today. On paper, we witness Lao-Tzu riding his buffalo followed by a devoted disciple—a scene that embodies the philosophical journey towards enlightenment. Dating back to 1922, this portrait of Lao Tzu remains shrouded in mystery as its creator remains unknown. Yet it serves as yet another testament to his lasting legacy. "The Three Sages" painting from the 19th century depicts Sakyamuni Buddha alongside Confucius and our enigmatic philosopher himself—Laozi—as they stand united in their pursuit of knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. The Taoist Triad artwork from 1922 showcases three important figures within Taoism: Fu Xi (the mythical founder), Huangdi (the Yellow Emperor), and lastly but not least - our beloved sage - Laozi himself. Together they represent the essence of Taoist teachings.
