The Chinese Thought of It: Amazing Inventions and Innovations
The Chinese people used the resources around them to improve their lives. Travel and trade were facilitated with the development of the paddleboat. The dragon-spine water lift allowed the Chinese to move water from the river to a field or reservoir. The Chinese were among the first to invent processes for working with metal. Health and healing practices, such as inoculations, are believed to be used as early as the 10th century CE.
The book includes photographs, illustrations, a table of contents, a note on the symbols used in the book and an index.
