First, you should be interested in Chinese, so that you will be motivated to keep at it. Then, you should find the most suitable way for you to learn Chinese. Finally, you should practice and practice. It is very important for you to practice communicating. You should look for opportunities to communicate with others in Chinese. Try to make lots of Chinese friends and frequently speak with them in Chinese.
Alchemy is often defined as a pseudo-scientific predecessor to chemistry that sought to transmute base metals into gold, produce an elixir to prolong life indefinitely, produce a panacea or universal remedy, and produce an 'alkhest' or universal solvent. Alchemy is actually about all possible transmutations (changes of state and form) of all matter. The practice of alchemy appears to be quite ancient. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and early Arab community all engaged in alchemical investigations, and some exchange of information between these groups seems to have occurred as well.

Religious Taoism is noted for its use of alchemy, specifically in trying to create elixirs which will grant long life, though this practice is not as abundant as it once was.
What ancient chinese medical practice made a comeback in the 1970's?
Well Alchemy is the belief that you can turn any metal into pure gold. This was a real scientific practice long ago and many sorcerers tried it also. What Literary Alchemy is, I don't know but Alchemists and Sorcerers who tried Alchemy are on Chocolate Frog Trading Cards. What Literary Alchemy really is and if Harry and co. ever learn it at Hogwarts, I don't know.
