The difference between alchemists and Taoists

The alchemist and the Taoist are two different religious beliefs and cultural traditions, and they have some differences. The alchemist is the ancient name of China for those who seek immortality and alchemy. They usually have high cultural literacy and scientific and technological knowledge, and are good at alchemy, divination and fortune telling. On the other hand, Taoism is one of the local religious beliefs in China. They emphasize the harmony between man and nature, the harmony between people and the improvement of personal moral quality. Therefore, the difference between alchemists and Taoists lies in the differences in beliefs and cultural traditions, as well as the resulting different ways and methods of practice.
