Paper, Silk, Gunpowder
Key Concept
Chinese Innovations
Explanation
China has been a source of numerous significant inventions throughout history. Paper was invented in China during the Han dynasty, around 105 CE, by Cai Lun. Silk production, known as sericulture, has ancient origins in China, dating back to at least the Neolithic period, with the Silk Road facilitating its trade. Gunpowder was also a Chinese invention, developed during the Tang dynasty, but not used for military purposes until later. The telegraph, however, was not a Chinese invention; it was developed in the 19th century by Samuel Morse and other inventors in the Western world.
