Four Great Inventions. Compass, gunpowder, papermaking, printing.
Also, please don't add Yuan and Qing. These two dynasties almost ruined ancient China.
During the Song Dynasty, the world's leading technology was mainly reflected in shipbuilding. We can see this through Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". The small capital city of Bianliang already has such a big ship.
At the same time, Europe did not even have a decent social system, and it was still a slave society.
During the Ming Dynasty, through the efforts of Zhu Yuanzhang and his descendants, China's science and technology developed to a new peak. Various firearms are widely used in the military. Among them, incendiary bottles, tanks, mines, and mines were all invented in the Ming Dynasty. This is by no means apocryphal, it is recorded in the history books.
The Tang Dynasty invented gunpowder, the Song Dynasty invented the compass, before the Qing Dynasty, as long as China is a unified country, China is the strongest and most powerful country in the world, not to mention the four major inventions, China's Northern Song Dynasty has a population of 80 million, the whole world together is less than 60 million, due to the outbreak of the first commercial revolution in human history, the total GDP of the Northern Song Dynasty accounts for eighty percent of the entire world.
In fact, in ancient times, there was no science and technology, chemistry was the basis of science, chemistry did not have it, where did science come from, ancient China always believed that the world was composed of five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were advanced navigation technology, and Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean were made by relying on these treasure ships that could carry a large number of people and materials and detailed charts.
