Needless to say, Zhang Heng invented the ** instrument. In my impression, Shen Kuo seems to be too.

Liu Hong was an astronomer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zu Chongzhi (429 500) was an outstanding mathematician and astronomer during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Gander and Shi Shen were astronomers during the Warring States period. Later generations combined their two works, called "Ganshi Xingjing", which is the earliest astronomical work in the world, which recorded the names of 800 stars, of which the positions of 121 stars have been determined, which is the world's earliest star catalog.

Luo Xiahong (140 BC 87 BC), an astronomer in the Western Han Dynasty, was the earliest calculus in China and one of the founders of the Hun Tian theory. The creation of the Taichu Calendar is the first calendar in Chinese history that can be examined in writing.

Zhang Heng (78 139), a great scientist, writer and inventor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, invented and created the "armillary sphere", which is the world's first large-scale astronomical instrument for observing stars driven by water power.

Zu Chongzhi (429 500), a famous mathematician and astronomer during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is known as the father of pi. He created the "Great Ming Calendar" and introduced precession for the first time.

Zhang Sui (Yixing) (683 727), a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, was a famous astronomer. He presided over the compilation of the "Great Calendar of the Great Calendar", corrected the erroneous calculation formula of the meridian "one thousand miles, one inch of shadow difference" in the ancient astronomical arithmetic work of China, the "Zhou Ji Sutra", and made a significant contribution to people's correct understanding of the earth.

Guo Shoujing (1231-1316), an outstanding scientist of the Yuan Dynasty, is the author of the Calendar of Time. The new calendar sets a year of 365,2425 days, which is only 26 seconds short of the actual time it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun and a full 300 years before the famous European calendar, the Gregorian calendar.

Shen Kuo (c. 1033 1097), a scientist of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the author of Mengxi Bi Tan. He determined that the distance between the North Star and the North Celestial Pole was "more than three degrees." In his later years, he proposed a new pure lunar calendar, the Twelve Qi Calendar, which was simple and straightforward and easy to guide farming.

Xu Guangqi (1562-1633), a famous scientist in the late Ming Dynasty, was the first to introduce advanced scientific knowledge from Europe to China. Xu Guangqi used the Western calendar to compile the Chongzhen Almanac, a huge work that systematically introduced the knowledge of European astronomy, including European classical astronomical theories, instruments, calculations, and measurement methods.

Li Shanlan (1811-1882) was an astronomer and mathematician of the Qing Dynasty. He translated Herschel's Compendium of Astronomy called Talking about the Heavens, in which he introduced Copernicus's doctrine and for the first time in China he used the concept of infinite series to solve Kepler's equations.
