Chinese Inventions Have Been Indispensable to the Western World
Chinese are traditionally stereotyped for a lack of technological ability however when we speak about Chinese inventions it is actually difficult to know where to begin. For a start there is gunpowder, kite, paper making, printing, the wheelbarrow, ceramics, the dry dock, chopsticks (duh) firecrackers, ceramics, the crossbow, lacquer, iron casting, natural medicine, acupuncture, surgery, the seismograph, the compass, Indian ink, whiskey, brandy, tea drinking and shredding, chess, paper money and spaghetti. And this is only the beginning!
The four most important discoveries by the Chinese which influenced the western world to a huge degree were spaghetti, paper money, chopsticks and whiskey (joke), no they were actually gunpowder, paper and printing and the compass.
The discovery of gunpowder has left a massive impression on the world, but it was not necessarily the only armament that came from the brainstorming of the Chinese. Although gunpowder was discovered by an alchemist who was trying to create the elixir of life for a Chinese Emperor during the Tang Dynasty, it was eventually used in war during the 1281 Mongol invasion of Japan. Chinese also invented a small version of the cannon, the crossbow, cross hair sights, bombs, grenades, rocketry, and a whole cornucopia of other armaments innovations.
In 105 AD Cai Lun was responsible for the invention of paper, he was a Chinese Eunuch (please don't make me explain what this means). And this was one of the greatest Chinese inventions. During the Battle of Talas River in 751, some Chinese paper makers were captured by the Arabs and this is how paper making came to be known to the world, by a process of enculturation.
Originally the compass was invented for religious purposes. When a new house was built the Chinese used a compass to ensure that the house was facing perfectly in harmony with nature. In other words, that it faced true North. The compass started life at a marked wooden circle which balanced a magnetic spoon on the top. We all know what an impact the compass has had on navigation techniques through the centuries.
Anesthetics have been used as far back as the 3rd century, this was a type of wine which had an anesthetic affect. The Chinese are world renowned for their knowledge of herbal medicines and acupuncture and this dates back millennia. 4000 year old skulls have been found in Heilongjiang, Qinghai and Henan provinces which indicate some kind of surgery may have taken place on them, the age of these skulls have been confirmed by Carbon Dating.
The Chinese invented a lot of stuff that has an impact on our everyday life. We can go on and on but the above is probably good enough for now.
