FACTS + DATES + CONSTRUCTION

 

When and who made the 4 great inventions (Paper, Gunpowder, Printing Tecnique and Compass) in China?

 

 

 

PAPER - 

 

A Chinese person called Cai Lun invented paper.  Paper was made in 101 A.D. (Anno Domini) Everyone uses paper all the time like in school, work and in many other places. And paper is used all over the place like in books. Books that you read, text books that you use etc... The making of paper soon exported to Korea in 384 A.D. and exported to Japan in 610 A.D. In the 11th centry, the technology went to India. The first paper factory in Europe was set up in Spain. In the latter half of the 16th century, this skill was brought to America. By the 19th century, when paper factories were set up in Australia, paper making had spread to the whole world.

 

 

 

PRINTING TECHNIQUE - 

 

Bi Sheng was the first person to make the Printing Press. He is a Chinese inventor. He invented the Printing Press in 1041~1048. You might also have heard of Johannes Gutenberg but he did not making the printing press.  He invented the Printing Press in 1439 but people and himself figures out that there were printed books in China and Korea hundreds of years earlier which Bi Sheng made.

 

 

 

 

GUNPOWDER - 

 

Unlike the Paper and Printing Press, Gunpowder was quite unexcepted. THe Gunpowder was made out of sulphur, saltpeter, and charcoal. It was first invented by alchemists while attempting to make an elixir of immorality.  At the end of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was being used in military affairs (events). When it comes to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people started using cannons in wars. In the 12th and 13th centuries, gunpowder spread to the Arab countries, then Greece, other European countries, and finally all over the world.

 

 

 

COMPASS - 

 

During the Warring States period, a device called a Si Nan became the forerunner of the compass. In the 11th century, tiny needles made of magnetized steel were invented. One end of the needle points north while the other points south. The compass was thus created. The compass greatly improved a ship's ability to navigate over long distances. So the compass helped people all over the world who travel.

 

IMPORTANCE OF HISTORY IN CHINA

This impressive innovation is important for China because it was one of the innovation that made China a better impression better than they did before.

This is nothing to do with paper but noodles was a big innovation that changed China’s impression from other countries perspectives.

 

SPACE PROGRAM

PERSPECTION

China has been working on Space Programme a lot.

NASA is one of the large space stations and there is a fact that China has been cooperating of the making of space stations.

But there is some negative facts that China might be putting dangerous things into some parts that you need to have in the machine.
