Within molecular clouds are regions with higher density, where lots of dust and gas cores reside, called clumps. These clumps are the beginning of star formation, if gravity can overcome the high density and force the dust and gas to collapse.
Taoism [is] the way of man's cooperation with the course or trend of the natural world, whose principles we discover in the flow patterns of water, gas, an fire, which are subsequently memorialized or sculptured in those of stone and wood, and, later, in many forms of human art. (From Tao: The Watercourse Way).
Daoism - the vital statistics. Daoism (sometimes called Taoism) has its origins 2500 years ago when the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote his classic Dao De Jing, though it draws on folk religion and traditions from long before that time. Daoism is the main religious tradition of China and can be found wherever there are Chinese communities across the Far East. The cultural influence of Daoism can also be detected in the art and literature of Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
