Illustrated Survey of Ancient Chinese Innovations, Engineering Feats, and Technological Breakthroughs

Published by China Books & Periodicals in conjunction with the China Scientific and Technological Museum, this rich historical survey documents centuries of pioneering Chinese scientific achievements. Grounded in archaeological discoveries and museum exhibits, the volume details the "Four Great Inventions"—papermaking, woodblock printing, gunpowder, and the magnetic compass.

Plentifully illustrated, the text also explores ancient Chinese metallurgy, bronze casting, silk weaving, architectural engineering, hydraulics, and astronomical instruments that significantly influenced global civilization.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Presents authentic museum scholarship, detailed historical diagrams, and clear explanations of ancient engineering triumphs. A fascinating 1983 paperback reference for historians, engineers, and students of Chinese culture.
