The representative inventions of ancient China are the four great inventions.
1. Gunpowder played a huge role in smashing the Western knightly class and establishing a regime belonging to the bourgeoisie;
2. The introduction of papermaking and printing promoted the development of the Western Renaissance and Enlightenment;
3. The guide is decisive for the great geographical discoveries of the 15th century.
4. In addition, such as the contribution of arithmetic and pi to mathematics in nine chapters; Compendium of Materia Medica, Four Diagnoses** for the Perfection of Medicine; The contribution of geokinetic instruments, observations of solar and lunar eclipses to astronomy, and so on. It can be said that ancient Chinese science and technology played a decisive role in the development of science and technology in the early days of the world, and China was the center of science and technology in the ancient world.
Civilization is all the material and spiritual achievements created by mankind. In this sense, the history of civilization is also the general history of the world. In the past, the general history of the world focused on things that were short-lived, political events, great figures, and later added things that were more stable such as the economic situation and cultural situation.
The history of civilization is different from the history of the world, that is, the unit it studies is each civilization, and it is the flow, development, and change of famous civilizations in the long river of history. Not only have some of the original ancient agricultural civilizations developed into industrial civilizations and grown into the current strong civilizations, but with the progress of the economy and the development of industrialization, there will also be the weak civilization of the original Sakura Tan Kailai to grow and become a new important civilization. Therefore, despite the development of globalization, in the foreseeable future, the world will still be a world of diversity and unity, and a world where civilizations coexist.

1. Ancient Egypt: pyramids, sphinxes, sun temples, hieroglyphs, etc.
2. Ancient Bhabi ruined his brothers: the Code of Hammurabi, the Hanging Gardens, cuneiform, etc.
3. Ancient India: Hinduism, Buddhism, surgery, Arabic numerals, caste system, etc.
4. China: sub-feudal system, lunar calendar, oracle bone inscriptions, bronzes, etc.
The four major civilizations actually correspond to the birthplace of the world's four major civilizations, namely the two river basins, the Nile River basin, the Ganges River basin, and the Yellow River basin, which were the earliest regions where the four large human civilizations were born, and the later Aegean civilization was not included. The significance of the four ancient civilizations lies not in the chronological order of the dust and Zen time, but in the fact that they were the birthplaces of many later civilizations and had a great impact on the regions where they were located. The four major civilizations are the original civilizations, while the other civilizations belong to the derivative civilizations and are deeply influenced by the native civilizations of the neighboring regions.
