Do sulfur and ammonia react? (Great thanks)

Do sulfur particles react with ammonia water? Will being together for a long time make the sulfur particles smaller than before? I don’t quite understand; please explain, thank you very much
Both sulfur and ammonia are reducing agents and do not react.
When particles become smaller, it is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. Sulfur does not react directly with ammonia without a special oxidizing agent.
Three concepts: reaction, dissolution, diffusion. There is no information indicating that sulfur can react with ammonia water. Sulfur is insoluble in water, and it should also be insoluble in ammonia. When sulfur is immersed in a liquid for a long time, it may experience particle fragmentation due to diffusion or the entry of water
Generally, they are reducing agents and will not react under normal conditions
