Ting Wang appears at the edge of a much older history, his name marking the reign associated with Lao-tse’s birth. The text gives no glimpse of the king himself, lending the mention the distant, solemn feel of a date remembered across centuries.

Ting Wang is named as the ancient Chinese king during whose reign Lao-tse was born. Beyond that association, the volume offers no account of his character, relationships, or deeds, and he remains a historical marker rather than a developed figure.
Description
The text gives no physical description of Ting Wang. His build, skin tone, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and bearing are unstated; any royal costume or other visual detail would be an interpretive choice, not a detail supplied by the book.
