In the ancient times, there were those who had learned the Tao of Transformation, aiming to study the wonders of the synthesis of all things. One day, I wanted to study the correspondence between Lithium Sulfate and Lead II Acetate, so I prepared various utensils and medicines.
In the clean kettle, first pour the liquid of lithium sulfate, its quality is clear and pure, and it reflects the wall of the kettle like a mirror. The second time you enter the agent of lead acetate, you slowly inject it, and it gradually becomes a little blue in the liquid. Then, the two touch each other, and the transformation should occur rapidly. The color in the kettle changes, or it is in the shape of a light mist, or it is in the shape of a strand, all due to the competition of molecules and the reunion of atoms.
After a while, it should be completed, and when you look at it, there is a new thing living at the bottom of the kettle. Or sinking under the bottom, the shape is like powder, the color is white or light, this is the fruit of the combination. Those who study Taoism observe its shape and quality in detail, remember that it changes in the sliver, and think about it. The ions of lithium sulfate and lead acetate, through the wonderful combination of compounds, form this new quality, and obey the laws of Taoism, which is impossible.
From this point of view, although the matter of chemical compounds is intangible and has signs, they follow the laws of nature, and they can control the changes of various things if they understand their principles. This is the mystery of Taoism.
