Features: This book is a concise edition of the renowned work A History of Science and Technology in China by the British historian Joseph Needham. It is a masterpiece that combines natural and humanities, serving as a popular academic monograph introducing ancient Chinese scientific civilization to later generations. The adapted version more directly points out that, in a certain sense, the Chinese scientific civilization today still extends its metaphysical concepts, radiates its brilliant light, and reveals its fascinating mysteries, making it worthy of in-depth study, research, and exploration by the world. Of course, the adapted version also frankly acknowledges the various reasons why Chinese scientific civilization has not been as glorious in the modernization process of the world as it was in ancient times, in order to attract the attention of people.
