Beschreibung

Chinese Inventions explores the profound impact of China's technological innovations on world history, focusing on paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. These inventions revolutionized communication, warfare, navigation, and knowledge dissemination. The book argues that these key technologies, originating in Chinese civilization, accelerated global progress and modernization, challenging Eurocentric views of technological advancement. For instance, the invention of paper not only transformed record-keeping but also paved the way for widespread literacy.

 
The book examines the genesis and early development of these inventions within China, detailing the processes involved in their creation and refinement. It then traces the routes through which these technologies spread westward, analyzing their transformative impact on European societies. The structured approach allows readers to understand how gunpowder changed warfare, the compass enabled exploration, and printing facilitated the Renaissance and Reformation.

 
By using historical texts, archaeological findings, and secondary sources, Chinese Inventions presents a well-supported account of China's contribution to global technology and cultural exchange.
