Chapter 20 Exploring Ancient Chinese Technology

“Our research also needs more support and investment, and we must gain the attention of the government and enterprises to support our research and promotion with practical actions.

At the same time, we also need wider publicity to let more people understand our research results and environmental protection concepts. " Ortega said.

"We also need more education and training to promote the culture of sustainable development and environmental protection concepts, and improve the public's environmental awareness and quality." Hibart continued.

Through their research and efforts, Ortega and Hibart have become representatives of the environmental movement and sustainable development, and have pointed out the way forward and ways forward for future development.

Ortega and Hibart know that China is an ancient civilization with a long history and is world-famous for its four major inventions.

They decided to explore the social background of the four great inventions in ancient China, and step by step appreciate the profoundness of ancient wisdom.

They came to China and arrived at a company called "Tomorrow Technology".

This is a newly established company that focuses on studying the origin and development of the four major inventions.

They want to understand the thinking and technological level of the ancient Chinese, and how they continuously developed new scientific and technological achievements through intelligent thinking.

Huang Meihua, the person in charge of the company, received them.

Huang Meihua is a Ph.D., and her research field is mainly ancient Chinese science and technology.

After Ortega and Hibart greeted her, she took the initiative to ask them their purpose.

"We want to understand the origins and social background of the four great inventions in ancient China, and we hope you can guide and help us." Hibart said.

"No problem, I am very happy to help you. However, this is a very broad field, and it will take a long time to fully understand the scientific and technological development of ancient China. We can introduce them one by one according to the four major inventions." Huang Meihua said .

She led them to the first of the four great inventions - the compass.

Huang Meihua told them that the compass was invented during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when navigation was very difficult. With the development of the times, China's navigation technology has occupied a monopoly position in the world. The invention of the compass made the development of Chinese navigation technology more rapid.

Ortega and Hibart sighed, thinking of the Age of Discovery in Europe.

Although Westerners are excellent in navigation technology, the invention and use of the compass depended on the contribution of the Chinese.

"Let's take a look at the second item: papermaking." Huang Meihua led them to an exhibition room.

In the exhibition room, there are many foreign tourists taking photos.

The words "The Invention and Application of Papermaking" are posted on the wall. The interior of the display room is very beautifully laid out, with many authentic ancient papers on which traditional literary works are printed.

"Papermaking is the crystallization of human wisdom in ancient my country. Its invention made writing much more convenient. Ancient paper is full of Chinese people's thinking and contains the essence of the long history of Chinese civilization." Huang Meihua said proudly.

"We can see that papermaking is really very technological. Without this invention, our world might be different now," Ortega said.

"Papermaking also brought a great benefit, that is, it made the dissemination of books more convenient. Without papermaking, it would be difficult to imagine that the ancient feudal emperors had extensive rule, and it is estimated that they would never be able to master the management of the country. A skill." Hibart also said with emotion.

Huang Meihua told them that many ancient scholars wrote many books on paper, and these books were called ancient collections. These books profoundly influenced the development of ancient Chinese history, philosophy, and culture, and were also one of the important reasons for the prosperity of science and technology in ancient China.

The third invention was movable type printing. Huang Meihua and them came to the printing factory.

There are many machines running here, and the printed characters are arranged motionlessly, neatly printing hot-selling books one after another.

Huang Meihua told them that movable type printing was one of the scientific and technological inventions of the ancient Chinese and one of the earliest printing technologies in the world. As early as the late Tang Dynasty, movable type printing had been produced, which greatly improved the speed and efficiency of book printing.

“This batch of printing equipment is so advanced,” Ortega exclaimed. “If there was no movable type printing, then the books or literary works in the world might only be passed down locally by handwriting. The invention of printing technology, Make cultural inheritance popular and convenient.”

"Of course, movable type printing is not just a tool for spreading culture. I think it can also change society to a certain extent. It further expands public knowledge and promotes a rapidly developing social and economic environment." Hibart put forward his own the opinion of.

Finally, they came to the wine-making workshop. Huang Meihua said that ancient Chinese wine-making technology was very advanced, and wine-making has become the most important traditional culture in ancient China.

The ancient Chinese developed many wine-making methods through experimentation, the most famous of which are the four great inventions of wine - Shaodaozi, Daqu, Xiaoqu and Tofu Zha.

"Indeed, wine-making technology has been very sophisticated since ancient times, and was later introduced to foreign countries. Japanese sake, Korean rice wine, brandy, whiskey and the latest brands are all their descendants." Ortega sighed.

"In addition, wine can also have more meanings. It is not only a delicacy, but also the plot of ancient poems and songs. It is regarded by many people as a culture and represents China's long history and profound culture." Hibart said.

In the process of exploring the four great inventions of ancient times, Ortega and Hibart gained a deeper understanding of ancient Chinese technology and culture, and became more aware of the breadth and depth of human wisdom.

They learned a lot and are full of hope and confidence in their future exploration.

Ortega: Hibart, have you heard of the technology produced by Europe's first industrial revolution?

Hibart: Of course I have heard of it. It was an extremely important historical period! Why do you suddenly bring it up?

Ortega: I have always been interested in that period of history, so I wanted to research it recently. However, I find that history to be too complicated for us laypeople.

Hibart: That's true, but that's why we need to investigate! In any case, if you are interested, go and study it in depth! We can find some information or go to a research center to seek expert help.

Ortega: You're right! Come, let's get moving together and pursue the technology produced by Europe's first industrial revolution!

Hibart and Ortega decided to pursue the twill-like technology of Europe's first industrial revolution.

They went to the research center to seek help from experts, but soon found that these experts rejected them, and some even ridiculed them.

Hibbart: Why are these experts like this? They completely failed in their duties.

Ortega: That’s true. We came here just to learn and discuss this history. Shouldn’t they welcome us?

Hibbart: Well, stop complaining. We need to find better ways to understand the technologies that emerged from Europe's first industrial revolution. Maybe you can go to the academic circle to find some like-minded people to discuss together.

Ortega: Yes, we need to look for more information, materials and clues to understand the truth of this period of history and the production process of technology.

Thus, Hibart and Ortega began their long academic journey.

They constantly consult various materials, investigate relevant historical backgrounds, discuss issues with a large number of experts, and look for relevant clues and evidence.

In the process, they encountered many difficulties and setbacks. Some documents have been lost, some clues are unclear, and they have encountered some political obstacles.

However, they did not give up and had high aspirations, and finally found some valuable research results in their endless exploration.

By analyzing a large amount of data and historical documents, they finally mastered the secrets behind Europe's first industrial revolution.

This period produced many important technological innovations, such as automobiles, electricity, movies, etc.

Even today, many technologies and craftsmanship still have modern value.

Hibart: I think the birth of these technologies was not only due to the abundant talents and abundant capital in European countries, but also benefited from the social background and historical process of that era.

Ortega: Yes, in that era, social and economic reform and scientific and technological progress were a necessity. The people had long been unable to endure the poverty and backwardness brought about by the traditional industrial system. The advancement of science and technology just solved one of the problems for them. .

During the research process, Hibart and Ortega also realized that in addition to the convenience that technology brings to human development, it also causes huge harm to the environment.

They decided that in the future, while focusing on technological innovation, they should also pay attention to environmental protection and social responsibility, so as to make the greatest contribution to mankind and the earth.

Through long-term research, Hibart and Ortega have gained a lot. Not only have they become experts in scientific and technological research, but they have also gained an in-depth understanding of history.
