A Chinese scholar recently said that 24 inventions in particular represented the achievements of ancient China's science and technology. Among them, rice planting, silk, decimal place-value charts, lacquer, porcelain, paper, printing, tea, gunpowder, fire arrows and the compass had a tremendous impact on the development of global civilization.

Wow. Civilization owes so much to the Chinese!
