The ancient Chinese invented many
things we use today, including paper, silk, matches, wheelbarrows,
gunpowder, the decimal system, the waterwheel, the sundial, astronomy,
porcelain china, lacquer paint, pottery wheel, fireworks, paper money,
compass, tangrams, seismograph, medicines, dominoes, jump rope,
kites, tea ceremony, folding umbrella, ink, calligraphy, animal
harness, playing cards, printing, abacus, wallpaper, the crossbow, ice
cream, and ... well, you get the idea.
The ancient Chinese were very
inventive! We owe them a lot!
