What is Ancient Science and Modern Science?

Ancient science is the geodynamic instrument, the wooden ox flowing horse, the crystal cup, the drum car, with some tools to help the dynasty in a better life. Modern science is to further study artificial intelligence in the life of science and technology.

Ancient science is a traditional science, while modern science is a kind of science based on Western science. There is an essential difference between the two, and what we are mainly using now belongs to modern science.

Ancient science is based on summarizing experience, modern science is based on theories and algorithms, and modern science is more accurate.

For example, astronomy, astrological movements, changes in solar terms, etc., such as the use of iron tools, were first applied to agriculture, and even if they were widely used in war, the purpose of war was to obtain more arable land and working people. Needless to say, such as farmland water conservancy, irrigation technology, engineering construction, and so on.

Modern science and technology are developed around industry, commerce, electronic information, etc., because they are relatively rich, more precisely, modern science and technology use capital as a link to seek the greatest economic benefits.

The reason is that in ancient times, science and technology were developed for survival, modern science and technology were developed for enjoyment, and the ultimate determining factor was the degree of development of productive forces.

Difference 2: The leading force in the development of science and technology in ancient times came from the people, and the speed of application of science and technology in practice was slow and the update time was long.

The development of modern science and technology is mostly paid for by the first, and the update speed is fast and the use cycle is short.

Modern technology is everywhere and is involved in all fields.

Difference 4: In the world, ancient science and technology had four civilization circles 2,000 years ago, and then until the 17th century, they were all Asia-centric (the Chinese civilization led the way for nearly 2,000 years).

In recent times, the center of science and technology has shifted to the Atlantic coast, and the center of modern science and technology has a tendency to return to the Pacific coast, and there are different scientific and technological specialties in different regions of the world.

A unique ancient science: Chinese medicine.

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Chinese medicine in China has a history of thousands of years and is unique in the world. Its unique medical theories, diagnosis and treatment methods and abundant Chinese herbal medicines have relieved the pain of countless people. Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure in the treasure house of the world's medicine, which still shines with the light of wisdom and has been recognized by many countries.

Acupuncture, Tuina, Cupping In traditional Chinese medicine**, a handful of herbs, socks, silver needles, and cupping can often relieve the pain.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and a broad and profound culture. As early as thousands of years ago, in ancient times, our ancestors accumulated some knowledge of medicine in their daily diet and struggle against nature. It has been discovered that eating certain animals and plants has the effect of alleviating or eliminating pain, which is the origin of Chinese medicine.

With the evolution of human beings, they began to purposefully search for drugs and methods to prevent and treat diseases.

When it comes to ancient Chinese scientific and technological civilization, people naturally think of the "Four Great Inventions". The "Four Great Inventions" have long become a symbol of Chinese civilization and have received wide attention and recognition from the world. But in fact, the "four major inventions" are not enough to fully display the scientific and technological achievements of the Chinese nation, because the important inventions and creations of our country in ancient times are far more than this.

For example, our ancestors first cultivated one of the world's three major beverage crops, tea, rice, one of the most important food crops, soybeans, one of the most important legume crops, and citrus, one of the most important fruit crops. The cultivation techniques of these crops have spread to the world and have made significant contributions to the survival and development of mankind.

How did China build a traditional cultural system with strong humanistic characteristics and scientific and technological creation? How to stay at the advanced level of the world's science and technology for a long time? I am afraid that it is difficult to comprehensively address these problems with only the "four major inventions".

In fact, the Chinese people have always been looking forward to knowing what original scientific and technological achievements our country has made. For the question of "what are the important scientific and technological inventions and creations in ancient China".

In 2013, the Institute of History of Natural Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences established a research group on "Important Scientific and Technological Inventions and Creations in Ancient China", inviting experts from inside and outside the Institute to work together to sort out the research results of the history of science and technology and archaeology, and systematically consider China's ancient inventions and creations. The Bureau of Science Communication of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has given continuous encouragement and support to this work.

In June 2016, the monograph and wall chart of "Important Scientific and Technological Inventions and Creations in Ancient China" were published by China Science and Technology Press. The book is divided into three parts: "Scientific Discoveries and Creations", "Technological Inventions" and "Engineering Achievements", listing 88 important scientific and technological inventions and creations in ancient China, and briefly explaining their connotations, appearance times and impacts on the process of human civilization.

As soon as it was launched, it received wide attention from the society, and successively won the honorary titles of "China's Good Book" in 2016 and "National Excellent Science Popularization Works" in 2017, and was selected into the "2018 Catalogue of 100 Excellent Publications Recommended to National Teenagers" issued by the National Press and Publication Administration.
