Which dynasty in the history of China had the best development of science and technology?
In the era of knowledge economy, science and technology is a topic we often talk about. However, in terms of science and technology, we lag behind developed countries in Europe and America in many places. However, backwardness does not mean that we can't do it. In the long river of history, we used to be? The best in the world? .

One is the Han Dynasty and the other is the Song Dynasty. ?

The development of the Han Dynasty always gives people a strong feeling. As the saying goes? There was a strongman who committed a crime in the Ming dynasty, even though he was far from home? , call it? Strong? ; So-called? Quiet rules? 、? The rise of Wushu? Call it prosperity. In addition to the prosperity of the Han dynasty, the level of science and technology is also very high. Papermaking, one of the four great inventions, was born in the Han Dynasty, which had a great influence on the world. Porcelain produced in Han Dynasty is relatively mature, carrying Chinese culture to the world. Even porcelain is the representative of China. The textile, smelting and water conservancy technologies in the Han dynasty were also very developed, ahead of western countries. The Han Dynasty also creatively developed astronomy, medicine, mathematics and other knowledge, and China still has a far-reaching impact on the world.

Although the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, it did not hinder the development of science and technology. Due to the development of urban economy, industry and commerce and overseas trade, the development of science and technology in Song Dynasty reached the peak of China feudal society. Among the four great inventions, printing, compass and gunpowder were successively completed and spread to Europe, which affected the progress of mankind. The astronomical calendar in Song Dynasty developed unprecedentedly and was in a leading position in the world. The introduction and improvement of rice varieties in Song Dynasty made rice harvest twice a year, which further promoted the development of Jiangnan area. The Song Dynasty took the lead in using paper money, which accelerated the currency circulation and gave birth to a worldwide commercial revolution.

Of course, the development of science and technology was very important in the Song and Han Dynasties, because the development of science and technology in the world was relatively good. In the two most important golden periods of China's scientific and technological development, European and American countries either stayed in the traditional agricultural society or were ignorant. Compared with us, they are only a few seconds apart.

1400 years seems to be a long time, but in the whole history, it is only a short period of time. After this period of time, we are bound to be chased or even surpassed by western countries. In the early Ming Dynasty, especially in the Qing Dynasty, China's science and technology lost its creative brilliance. Instead, we drop out of school to do some summative applied science. The development of basic science has declined again and again. Of course, there are also political and cultural reasons. Whatever the reason, we have been overtaken by western countries and have been invaded again and again since modern times.

1000 years, China has been ahead of the world in science and technology. These two dynasties were the most powerful, killing Europe and affecting mankind. This is a science and technology war, and it is also an era war.
