China has given the world many great inventions. Among them, the Four Great Inventions are the most famous. They are paper making, printing, gunpowder and the compass.
These inventions have helped people solve a lot of problems in daily life.
Before paper making was invented, people wrote on bamboo slips, silk or animal bones. They were either heavy or expensive. Cai Lun improved paper making in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since then, it has been much easier and cheaper to write and record things.
Printing also changed our lives. In the past, copying books by hand took a long time and was full of mistakes.
Then, the printing came out. Later, Bi Sheng invented movable (可移动的) type printing. It became faster to print books. More people could afford books, and knowledge spread more quickly.
Gunpowder was invented by accident. At first, it was used for fireworks. Later, people made weapons with gunpowder. It changed the way of war.
The compass is very important. Before it was invented, people often got lost at sea. The compass helps them find the right direction. With it, they can travel far away and explore new places.
