Illustrious However, why modern science and technology have not been produced in China

1. It is modern science, which can also be called science; 2. It is not surprising that science was not born in China, first, there was no speculative philosophy (dialectics of nature) and formal logic in ancient Chinese philosophy, and speculative philosophy and formal logic were one of the two cornerstones of the formation of science. Second, the Chinese do not advocate hands-on, thinking that hands-on is a matter of waiting, and Chinese intellectuals advocate that without hands-on experiments, it is impossible to produce science, and a large number of experiments are another cornerstone of the birth of science.

Not to mention that modern science was not born in China, even now science is not welcomed in China, few Chinese understand science, and few people really believe in scientific conclusions, and many people attack and ridicule those who talk about science and believe in science. Can such an environment give birth to science?

China is objectively a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and its products (especially agriculture) are abundant, which means that with abundant human resources, it is difficult for China to have a demand for progress for the purpose of improving productivity. Therefore, it is not only the slow development of modern science itself, but also the fact that it ignores the early stage of modern technological progress in the West.

After the emergence of capitalism in China, the development was slow, and even until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the bourgeoisie still failed to become a climate at all. Not to mention that they have almost no appearance of primitive accumulation in the early stages of bourgeois development. Therefore, the premise of the West's primitive accumulation demand for maturing science and technology does not exist in China.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was still acceptable, but in the Qing Dynasty, because of the cowardice of the ruling class (after all, it ruled 400 million with 100,000), it raised ideological control to a new height. It has seriously hindered the normal dissemination of science and technology at the grassroots level.

Finally, China's ancient science and technology were developed, but most of them focused on practicality and lacked the rigorous theoretical logic of Western classical science. This is the most important shortcoming of China's ancient science itself.

Hieroglyphs are more difficult to spread than Western phonetics in terms of literacy and literacy. Objectively, it is very easy to cause social unrest, and soon there will be a fault line in some emerging technology culture. But this is the ultimate reason.

Of course, China actually has advantages over the West, such as natural and simple materialist beliefs (there was no integration of politics and religion after the Shang Dynasty), and a large national size (so once you concentrate your efforts, you will do great things beyond the imagination of others), but all these advantages need to wait for the main contradiction in our country to become the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production, and face up to this contradiction from top to bottom, so that China's science and technology can mobilize all the capabilities that can be mobilized. There has been a leap forward in science and technology!

In the context of China's backward science and technology in modern times, the reason why some outstanding scientists still appear is that advanced Chinese study the West, go to the West, and super-Western, and work tenaciously and recklessly for the rejuvenation of China.

Modern China faced the domination of Western powers, and encouraged advanced Chinese to learn from the West, go to the West, and super-Western, and fight tenaciously for the rejuvenation of China. They studied science and technology from the Western pioneers abroad, did not forget to serve the country, resolutely gave up the favorable conditions abroad, and with a strong sense of responsibility and patriotism of the times, under the difficult environmental conditions, they studied hard and made bold innovations, and made achievements that attracted the attention of the world.

Although the Westernization Movement had irreconcilable contradictions with the people, it still had a unified side in resisting foreign aggression and realizing the modernization of the town. In a certain sense, the idea and movement of science to save the country have objectively promoted the introduction of modern science from the West to China, and have had a positive impact on the history of modern science and technology in China.

Li Shanlan:

When he was young, he was quick and intelligent. When he was 9 years old, one day he was studying in a private school, and he saw a copy of the ancient arithmetic scripture "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" on the bookshelf, so he secretly took it down and read it. Unexpectedly, if you don't look at it, you can't let go of it when you see it.

The novel knowledge immediately attracted him. Unexpectedly, with the annotations in the book, he could be self-taught.

After that, after a period of calculations, he actually made all 246 practical problems in the book. In this way, Li Shanlan became obsessed with mathematics. At the age of 14, Li Shanlan taught herself to read the first six volumes of Euclid's "Geometric Originals" co-translated by the Ming Dynasty mathematician Xu Guangqi and the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci on the basis of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
