Enormous cake celebrates birth anniversary of Taoism founder, Lao Zi

(People's Daily Online) 17:12, March 13, 2017



Over 10,000 people gathered around the world's highest bronze statue of Lao Zi (604-531 BC), an ancient Chinese philosopher and the founder of Taoism, on Lao Junshan Mountain in Henan province on March 12. The crowd assembled to celebrate the 2,588th anniversary of the birth of Lao Zi. A massive cake was made to mark the occasion, decorated with the text of the Dao De Jing, a book believed to be finished by Lao Zi. Weighing 5 tons, the cake contained 30,000 eggs, 450 kilograms of sugar, 300 kilograms of milk and 600 kilograms cream. Nevertheless, the crowd made quick work of the tasty treat.

Wish I was there. I would of made off with a wheelbarrow full.

The Tao is a corner stone of Chinese civilization. I honestly believe that adherence to Taoist teachings will propel China to be the greatest civilization. Again.

Failure to acquire the virtues emphasized by lao Tzu will lead to Chinese decline. Again.

Gotta show this to my GF, she loves this sort of stuff.

Definitely agree.

Lao Zi for inner peace and perfection, Kong Zi for social harmony, public order and political vitality... Two pillars of China civilization nation. These teachings should never be let forgotten.

These are our very DNA.
