During the last two years, new cultural discoveries closer to rewrite history. It was a moment of pleasure, full of adventures and surprises. In every corner with new answers to these questions are answered as we imagine. And a breakthrough, there is no light to shine as the effect of the discovery of ancient China to modern life. As we explore ten of the greatest inventions and innovations of Ancient China, you may be surprised at the influence of their recenttechnology.

1. Paper. Paper, which we know is found in China around the year 105. After seeing the first attempts of silk, bamboo sticks and animal skins, Cai sunrise with their own ideas. After mixing the bark of shrubs, textiles, wheat and others, the nucleus is formed. The core is pressed into sheets and dried, as a crude form of paper. The paper is a discovery as important as the process is kept secret. The secret was safe untilseventh century, when the propagation of art in India.

2. Printing Press. Before Johann Gutenberg "invented" the printing of 1440, China has created a type of printing between 206 BC and AD 45. Who made the stone tablets to create a scrub, "the famous Buddhist and Confucian texts. The next block printing in the Sui Dynasty. In the printing blocks, images and words are engraved on wooden boards, smeared with ink and pressed onto paper. Then, type movingPrinting was introduced. According to the author of ancient inventions "in AD 1000, paged books in the modern style has been replaced over – 450 years before Gutenberg.

3. The First Book. Since the early arrival of the printing press, China also claims the first book. In the year 868, nearly six hundred years before the Gutenberg Bible, the earliest printed book known. At the end of the dynasty of fuses, China had bookstores in most cities.

4. Paper Money. Duringnow prefer to carry a lot of money, not coins, not always the case. The idea of paper money was first tried under the Emperor Han Wu-ti (140-87) after the war financially drained. He took the bills and replacement costs for 400,000 copper coins. Instead of paper, the Emperor used the skin of whites. But people very rarely the idea soon lost appeal. First 800, has revived the idea of the highway to prevent a thief. At 812, the governmentRe is money. In the year 1023, money is the end date and he was plagued by inflation and counterfeiting. Nearly six hundred years later the hair of paper currency in the west, first printed in Sweden in 1601.

5. The abacus. Before Texas Instruments, the first calculator made. The Abacus comes from the year 200 BC It is a very complex tool with a simple design. Wood has compiled a rectangular frame with a rod from the bottom up. About 2 / 3 'sbase, the divisor of shading, which is known as the bar counter. On each bar is the pearl. All the beads on the number of bar five minutes. They are measured in one. Range bars read from right to left. Bar the most important is the right one, the other holds the ten sites, roads, and many more. Although the design may seem compliCatnip.net/” title=”Catnip Toys”>Cated, there are now so skillful Chinese so they can solve math problems faster than someone whocalculator!

6. The decimal system. West, decimal system emerged recently. The first example believes in Spanish manuscript dated around 976. However, the first example again. In China, marking the period of the 13th century BC, "547 days" written as "five percent more than four decades plus seven days." The Chinese tend to create a decimal system because it depends on the nature of language (such as images), rather than an alphabet. Eachnumber is unique. No decimal system, the Chinese have a hard time remembering all the new characters. Using the units, tens, hundreds, and so on, the Chinese saved time and trouble.

7. The Mechanical Clock. In 732 years, a monk and mathematician, discovered the first mechanical clock. He calls it "The water is driven circular observation-Eye-View Sky Chart". Like the previous hour, water provides strength, but the movement of the machine in a box.But after several years corrosion and freezing temperatures take toll. It was not until 1090, when astronomer Su Sung designed the mechanical marvel "Cosmic Engine", a clock is made more reliable. Built for the Emperor Ying Zong, this clock has a tower over 30 feet above. It adapts to the machine, among others, because of the wooden puppet to pop one of five doors on a regular basis throughout the day. (Like the idea of modern clocks cuckoo.) entire enginepowered by a giant waterwheel. Hours of operation until 1126 when the Tartar conqueror dismantled and moved to Beijing for several years. The hours of first reference in the history of the West in 1335, the church of St. Gothard in Milan.

8. Planetarium. A planetarium is a large enclosed space that shows the stars and constellations in the file. Orbitoscope is the name of the first projection planetarium. This report is published in Basil in 1912 by Professor E. Hinderman. But onceagain, China is the mother of this invention. The first planetarium is due to the design of the first emperor. As a country, an astronomer named Jamaluddin made the planetarium during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), whose calendar forever, and other important astronomical tools.

9. Sensor earthquake. Sensor earthquake that also the early works of art interesting. It is a copper cylinder about 8 feet in circumference, with 8 dragon perched above 8 open mouthfrog. The mouth of each dragon rested a bronze ball. When panic earthquake, the pendulum in the cylinder would swing. This drops the ball from the mouth of the dragon and get off at the mouth of a frog. Frog's back and then turned to the epicenter. Chang Heng invented in 132 AD (during the Han Dynasty), almost 600 years before the sensor of the West was made in France. Then, in 1939, recreated Imamura discovery Akitsune and really proved thateffective.

10. Rotor of the helicopter rotor. While the ancient Chinese did not really create a helicopter, they have participated in its creation. 4th century AD, they found a Cattoy.com/” title=”Cat Toy”>Toy called "bamboo dragonfly". Maybe you've seen them as a gift to a local exhibition or carnival. This is a Toy top, with the basics such as pencils and a small helicopter as a knife to the end. Top is covered with a rope. When you pull the rope, a knife, turn andfloating in the air. They are designed by Sir George Cayley in 1809 and has played a role in the birth of modern aviation. Not until early 1900 that the first helicopter to fly.

This is sometimes mind blowing thing to realize that what appears to ideas or innovative discoveries that much older than we imagine. And the possibility that more discovery was found. During the history of changes that must be done. Following the greatest inventions of the pastIn 2000, Jared Diamond has also concluded that while referring to the change of point of view of history and inventors, "forget if the stories about genius inventors who perceived needs of society, by solving myself, and with the changing global system. Never had such a genius. ……. If it is not designed Gutenberg better alloys and inks used in printing fast contemporary tinkerer with metals and other oils are made to …… Gutenberg — but give credittoo. "

Question:

1. Select one of these discoveries. Explain how different the world would be if it was created.

2. Why do you think you have such a large time gap between East and West on the discovery?

3. What are the other findings of ancient China? Research and know when ideas are introduced to Western culture.
