Undisputed masters of invention and discovery for 3,000 years, the ancient Chinese were the first to chart the heavens, discover the circulation of the blood, and even isolate sex hormones. From the suspension bridge and the seismograph to the blast furnace, iron plow, parachute, and fishing reel, ancient China's contributions in engineering, medicine, technology, math, science, warfare, transportation, and music helped inspire the European agricultural and industrial revolutions. Now in this handsomely designed, lavishly illustrated edition~organized by invention for easy access~Robert Temple captures the spirit and excitement of centuries of ingenuity and growth in one colorful, endlessly informative volume perfect for browsing and reference. Did you know that: ~The Chinese were the first to invent the suspension bridge. By the first century they had developed the first steel suspension bridge capable of transporting vehicles across their many mountain gorges, having first invented vine and rope suspension bridges four centuries earlier. ~The fishing reel was first developed by the Chinese. It also had a less ~ thanpeaceful purpose: to retrieve valuable javelins, attached to cords, from the bodies of fallen enemies. ~In the third century the Chinese invented the stirrup. The Vikings, Avars, and Lombards transported the stirrup to medieval Europe~thereby making possible the legendary armor~clad knight on horseback. ~Paper money was invented by the Chinese in the ninth century. By the eleventh century they were already experiencing the ill effects of mass production of currency: inflation and counterfeiting. ~The Chinese invented playing cards. Printed by woodblock, they were longer than those we have today and were made of durable, fairly thick paper. Convenient to carry and stimulating, yet not too taxing, their virtues were enthusiastically proclaimed until in the eighteenth century legislation against gambling was enacted. ~Two thousand years before the circulatory system was discovered by William Harvey, the Chinese had elaborated a complex theory of the blood's circulation. ~The decimal system was invented by the Chinese in the fourteenth century B.C., 2,300 years before the first evidence of the proper use of decimals in Europe. ~More than 1,500 years before Leonardo da Vinci made sketches of a parachute, the Chinese had already invented one and were actually using it.
