Description:
Two of Two Dynasties in Ancient China labeled as the Chinese Golden Age, during this time, the silk road was thriving and this caused the spread of many inventions including some from the Chinese empire, such as gunpowder, porcelain, paper money, movable type, compass navigation, and even things such as superior shipbuilding and improvement in agriculture. These inventions lasted for years and led to other inventions stemming from them after crossing the silk road and making it to other civilizations. Gunpowder was used in fireworks for celebration in China as this was their Golden Age(time of peace) however it changed the game for battle, starting the creation and use of guns and bombs eliminating the use of spears and arrows. Compass navigation made it easier to travel and porcelain was sometimes used in tableware.Added to timeline:
