Metallurgy-
Metallurgy came as a result of Daoism’s focus on nature that caused further
exploration into earth and its many uses. One key discovery was the realization
that when manipulated with fire, metal ores could be combined to produce
harder, more resilient tools. With Taoist’s being at the forefront of metallurgy
in China, metal in its many designs and fashions in China often reflected views and
styles of Daoism.
