As we all know, the Spring and Autumn Warring States period was the first period of great turmoil and great division on the mainland, when Zhou Tianzi declined, the princes rose up, or encroached on whale swallowing, or conquest and annexation; at the same time, the Spring and Autumn Warring States was an era of academic rise and scientific and technological prosperity, and the hundred sons and hundreds of families born of war included lawyers, zongheng families, and soldiers who served the hegemony of the emperor, as well as Confucians, peasants, and Mo families who were bent on serving the people. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some science and technology developed like "open hanging", and some can even be said to be the "enlightenment" of modern science and technology, so please let the readers work with the author to see what science and technology were bred in this special era?
First, smelting iron casting ploughs, carving copper for art
A large number of iron tools have been unearthed everywhere, providing an opportunity for future generations to understand history and dialogue with predecessors, and in the excavated pieces of ancient iron tools, we are extremely amazed by the superb technology of our predecessors. "How to overcome natural disasters?" Perhaps the present comfortable and safe life will not make us think about this problem, but in ancient times, when productivity was severely low, in order to get the opportunity to survive from the land, we got rid of instability
"Live by the water and grass, choose the hills and live in it"
In the living environment, the ancient ancestors started from scratch, and after experiencing countless natural and man-made disasters, they finally invented and popularized iron farming tools. Iron farming tools began in the Spring and Autumn Period, popularized in the Warring States, in the Warring States for hundreds of years, can enter the smelting and casting of pig iron and iron smelting for steel from the more primitive block smelting method, the rapid progress of technology, rare in the history of world smelting, indicating that the mainland iron smelting technology in the world at that time has been in a leading position.
The promotion of iron ploughing and cattle farming has withdrawn from the historical stage of wood and stone farming tools, but bronze ware has "found another way" and boarded the "bell and bell food home" of princes and nobles, becoming a ceremonial instrument that continues to exist in the world, and its technological development speed is not inferior to that of iron. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the carved ornaments on bronzes tended to be meticulous and neat, the shape was light and dexterous, and even to the "industry" such as ceremonial instruments, musical instruments, coins, seals, measuring instruments, etc. Some bronzes unearthed in later generations, their fine plating and complex patterns, were not lost to modern mechanical creations, which made posterity marvel, but also had a longing for this long era.

Skywalker is always, and shuntian carries it
Since ancient times, human exploration of the sky has not stopped, the Ming Dynasty ten thousand households, is the continent to initiate space launch, to challenge the universe, until now, the mainland still has a large number of scientific researchers to contribute to the mainland space industry. In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, astronomy has risen, although there is no technical support, but the emergence of calendar algorithms, the record of solar eclipses, the interpretation of the five elements by the Yin and Yang family, all seem that the sky and nature are not so terrible, the mystery of the "canopy" on the top of the head is slowly unveiled, and finally, the ancient ancestors of the mainland are not creeping on the ground, trembling and praying to the sky, but actively using nature and being friends with nature.
We often say, "The Mandate of Heaven is difficult to violate", but what is the "Mandate of Heaven"? All along, the ancient mainland has explored the "heaven", think
"Heaven is God, and heaven can be deadly to man and determine the number of people's lives"
。 In the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the observation of "celestial phenomena", especially abnormal celestial phenomena, because it is related to the "Mandate of Heaven", so the princes attach great importance to it, which also directly promotes the development of continental astronomy, the more famous work is the "Ganshi Xingjing", which records the earliest stellar change position chart of the mainland, although it can not get rid of the use of the monarch's star, but together with a large number of astronomical monographs and astronomical observation records in the same period, breaking the mystery of the sky and providing a broader vision for future generations.

Looking and asking, the magic hand rejuvenates
The benevolence of the healer, in ancient times, there was "the medicine god Shennong, who tested the poison of hundreds of herbs", which made posterity feel admired and admired, and in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, there were also "Bian Que" who practiced medicine and were respected by people. "Bian Que" surname Qin, name slow, the character Yue ren, because of his superb medical skills, is considered to be a divine doctor, so people at that time borrowed the ancient myth of the Yellow Emperor when the divine doctor "Bian Que" to call him. Bian Que invented the four diagnostic methods of looking, smelling, asking and cutting, known as the traditional diagnostic method of mainland Chinese medicine, which has been used for more than 2,000 years and laid the foundation for the traditional medical diagnosis method of the motherland. Sima Qian praised him as:
"Bian Que speaks medicine, for fang zhi zong." Shrewd in keeping numbers, cultivating order in the hereafter, and being easy to do. ”
In addition to the above, in fact, there are many technical achievements in the Spring and Autumn And Warring States period, such as in order to equip the army and provide military supplies, the Qin State has a unified scheduling of production "assembly lines", which are inspired and used by future generations; there are also architectural achievements: the strict symmetrical layout of the city laid the unique architectural layout of Chinese classical, and the strict hierarchical restrictions on architecture were also followed by the buildings of previous generations. In this era of constant war and chaos, science and technology continue to develop with a silent and unstoppable trend, from making something out of nothing to providing valuable experience for future generations, and we can only feel the bitterness and difficulty of it through the words of historical documents.
