"This study explores the concept of alchemy through an anthropological lens, emphasizing its cultural significance across various societies. By analyzing the motivations behind the pursuit of alchemy—from material wealth to spiritual fulfillment—the research highlights the contextual variations in alchemical practices over time, with a focus on the Chinese tradition where alchemical concepts were applied to achieve physical immortality. The paper underscores the transformative power of alchemy as a cultural trait and discusses recent interpretations that link alchemical traditions to contemporary scientific inquiries."
