Day and night flowed, the ancients feared the law of time, so they invented the solar term calendar in order to cultivate and rest; The rising sun, the ancestors yearn for the grandeur of the sun, so they engraved the gold leaf of the "sun god bird" in order to be warm and smooth.
Since then, the land of China has given birth to countless scientific and technological miracles that have amazed the world, and inspired future generations to explore, persevere, and forge ahead.
How to pass on this tens of millions of years of heavy knowledge to children in a light and interesting way?
Liu Xingshi, the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the winner of the 19th Wenjin Award, has turned what he has learned all his life into interesting stories, and has specially compiled a set of super heavy popular science books for children——
8-12 years old
Signed edition of "Ancient Chinese Science and Technology That Changed History" (4 volumes)

A set of books introduces a full 130 ancient science and technology, each technology is a small story, the time span from the Stone Age to the Qing Dynasty, is not only the history of ancient science and technology, but also a history of Chinese civilization, the Chinese nation's scientific and technological achievements and innovative spirit in the long history of the book are all highlighted in the pages of the book, to help children find the "root" to know the "bottom", the past and the present.
Many of the contents in the book are linked to the test center, and while children read, they not only acquire knowledge more effectively, but also cultivate children's national pride, so that they can face the world calmly and confidently.
Ninety heavyweights in the science popularization industry,
With a lifetime of scientific investigation experience,
Tell children about the development of China's scientific and technological civilization
Turning boring knowledge into interesting stories is thanks to the author of this book, Grandpa Liu Xingshi.
He is the winner of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, a geologist, the first generation of science fiction writers in China, and a representative of the science-oriented school, known as the "story king among scientists", with more than 300 works published and more than 200 awards, including the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the China Outstanding Publication Award, the Bingxin Children's Book Award, and the National Excellent Science Popularization Works.
Liu Xingshi was born in the war years, but insisted on studying, loved reading since childhood, was admitted to the Department of Geology of Peking University in 1950, and did not go to the office to do research after graduation, but chose to measure the earth with his feet and start the difficult geological research work.
In his more than 60 years of scientific expedition, Liu Xingshi has climbed cliffs, crossed canyons, and explored deserts, glaciers, swamps, plateaus, dense forests, and swamps on foot...... Several times to fight for their lives. He not only discovered the ancient human ruins of Bailian Cave in Liuzhou, but also verified that the ancient Shu Kingdom was the end point of Westerners to China through the ancient Southern Silk Road. These rigorous and professional materials are the first-hand information of his creation.
Following the course of 130 scientific and technological developments,
To explore the formation process of "Chinese-style" discipline cognition and thinking,
Lay the foundation for subject learning
The content of "Chinese wisdom" in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects covered in the series of books "Ancient Chinese Science and Technology that Changed History" can be used as extracurricular books for children to expand their reading.
The arithmetic chips mentioned in the first and fourth grade mathematics books appear in the book: "The arithmetic chips are usually tied in a small bag around the waist, and the arithmetic chips can represent multiple digits, and can be added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, squared, etc., and interestingly, the arithmetic chips can also represent negative numbers." ”
The "Ninety-Nine Songs" in the first volume of second-grade mathematics is one of the more than 36,000 Qin slips excavated in the Liye area of Longshan, Hunan Province, and the mystery of mathematics and the weight of history have planted the seeds of wisdom in children's hearts.
The pi in the first volume of sixth-grade mathematics is explained in detail by this book: "Liu Xin, Zhang Heng, Liu Hui, Wang Fan, Pi Yanzong and other scientists have calculated pi and introduced this problem to a deeper level. Among these people, Liu Hui, a mathematician of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, made the greatest contribution. In his mathematical work "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes", he used a special circumcision, that is, using the geometric shapes connected in the circle to calculate, as close as possible to the circumference of the circle, and found a scientific method for calculating pi. ”
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that "the mountain of women's beds has more red copper in its yang, and more stone nirvana in its yin...... "stone nirvana is coal." Some people have verified that the Nu Bed Mountain is the Qishan Mountain of Fengxiang, Shaanxi, which belongs to part of the Qinling Mountains. Bai Juyi said in "The Charcoal Seller": "Selling charcoal, cutting and burning charcoal in the southern mountains." His face was full of dust and smoke, and his temples were pale and his fingers were black. The Nanshan mentioned in the poem is also the Qinling Mountains, which further confirms that there are coal mines in the Qinling Mountains.
The earliest mention of the word "oil" was the Taiping Guangji of the Northern Song Dynasty in the 10th century AD. Soon, the famous scientist Shen Kuo officially affirmed the term "oil" in "Mengxi Writings", saying: "There is oil in the territory of Dun and Yan, and it is said that 'Gaonu County produces fat water', which is also it." ”
During the Qin and Han dynasties, natural gas wells were discovered in the Qionglai area of Sichuan, which were called "fire wells".
These stories about coal, oil, and gas all correspond to the formation of coal, oil, and gas in the first book of sixth-grade science.
In this way, boring knowledge becomes a child's interesting friend, and the child imperceptibly improves cognitive thinking and enhances interest in learning, killing two birds with one stone!

In addition to being interesting, this set of books is also too rich and comprehensive!
The book covers astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other "hardcore" subject education; With the idea of "general education", Bohna has more than 20 higher-level "quality education" such as agronomy, water conservancy, transportation, engineering, architecture, military science, botany, zoology, meteorology, metallurgy, machinery, printing, shipbuilding, navigation, ceramics, textiles, etc.
Let's take a look at this treasure first, from Sanxingdui, which has been on fire in the past two years.
The ancient Shu people who lived in Longmen Mountain suffered from the earthquake in the mountains, which is the junction of the first and second ladders in the mainland, and they made
