Therefore, there is such a set of books edited by famous scientific and technological experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recommended by Liu Jiaqi, president of the China Popular Science Writers Association, and Su Qing, president of China Science and Technology Press, such a set of children's books for children to popularize ancient Chinese science and technology "Great Ancient Chinese Science and Technology".
