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 was founded by Laozi, a great writer. Legalism was followed and enforced by Shi-Huangdi, a great emperor of the Qin dynasty. Ancient China had the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Great Wall of China, and many other geographical features which made China have fertile land and protection from barriers.
