Detailed explanation-1: -Confucius (551–479 B.C.E.) had consulted him on certain ritual matters, we are told, and praised him lavishly afterward (Shiji 63). This establishes the traditional claim that Laozi was a senior contemporary of Confucius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon first meeting, Confucius immediately recognised Lao Tzu’s great intellect, understanding and brilliance. He saw in him a quality he had never seen before. He was unable to fully grasp this quality.
Detailed explanation-3: -Legends concerning Lao-Tzu also claim he was the contemporary and teacher of Confucius (l. 551-479 BCE), founder of Confucianism which, in its original form, was closer to Taoism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lao Tzu and Confucius are not the same because Confucius stressed respecting the relationship in life, such as the relationship between self and authority, while Lao Tzu based his thoughts on what is natural and spontaneous in human experience. Confucius believes in setting a good example for others to follow.
