Some Of Ancient Chinese’s Greatest Inventions

This is about the ancient chinese’s greatest inventions mainly in the chang dynasty and this is very useful.

The Chinese have changed our lives in many ways indeed. We would not have many of the modern things that make our lives easier today. Confucius has probably inspired many of the inventors to make the many Chinese inventions. Some Chinese herbs and medicines and many inventions of the Chinese have been made better. As many people may not notice though is that without the Chinese and their many ways life would not be as easy as it is today.

One of the Chinese’s have made was a device called the Seismic graphic machine .A seismic graphic machine is used to predict the power of earthquakes based on the rector scale. Chinese were peaceful people but were very talented in the art of war. Chinese blades were made of bronze at first then when iron and steel came to be they were used to provide better stronger sometimes-lighter blades. Chinese warriors also had very strong armor that if you saw them you would also say that it kinda looks like fish scales (I do). The armor is like fish because the scales are rowed each row was smaller than the last one going from the waist up until the neck, then one row gets put under another one under that one, one row put under that one, and so on and so on until the scales get up to the neck so with that many steps it must be strong! Just like the sword though they were then made of iron and steel.

The Chinese and Japanese used and still use a lot of bamboo today. Bamboo grows almost anywhere. Chinese and Japanese use bamboo for some canoes and boats they use it to make the floorings and also other parts of the Chinese home. The Chinese were the first to discover gunpowder. We use gunpowder today for explosives and fire crackers. Gunpowder was discovered in the 8 th century while trying to find the elixir of life. At the 10 th century gunpowder was used to make weapons, fireworks, The gun, The Rocket, The Bomb, and The Mime also.

The last Chinese invention I will list is the famous invention silk. Silk was so valuable that when the Chinese wouldn’t tell, the Europeans tried to find the secret of making silk for so many years and eventually found the secret of making silk but it was a while before they did. The production of silk follows these steps first the silk worms are found then they are killed then they are baked in to fabric then eventually in the process is made into the desired project. The Chinese have modernized our lives forever and have contributed how their inventions came to be.
