What does the alchemist and Taoist mean? What's the difference between an alchemist and a Taoist?

1, alchemists first appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and then these people gradually increased, and by the end of the Warring States period, they called themselves "Fang". At that time, witchcraft was very popular, and people believed in witch ancestors, so alchemists began to use witchcraft to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits in the name of believing in witch ancestors. In the Zhou Dynasty, these people were also called magicians. People believe in the theory of gods and immortals, and all want to be immortals and live forever. So the alchemist began to make alchemy, and at the same time, he also used Dan medicine to cure diseases and save lives. So in the Zhou Dynasty, he was given a subordinate position and was in charge of the prison at that time.

2. Warlocks are a group that originated from alchemists. The alchemist will, the warlock will, but the alchemist may not. Warlocks can exorcise ghosts and catch demons, master Yin and Yang, observe celestial phenomena, predict bad luck, predict the future and so on. People think that warlocks are omnipotent, as if they know astronomy above and geography below. However, the origin of warlocks has always been a mystery, and no one can explain it clearly, except that their existence is rare and mysterious, so people call them warlocks.

3. Taoists actually evolved from alchemists. Taoists began in the Han Dynasty. The first Taoist priest in China was Zhang Ling, who founded Wudou Midao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism pursues the realm of "harmony but difference" in which spirit and flesh are completely harmonious and unified. And Taoist priests have ten magic weapons for self-defense.

4. Therefore, alchemists and Taoists only practice in different ways, but their goals are similar. In addition, warlocks basically no longer exist, so future generations will confuse the three and call them warlocks.
