| World various nationalities have made contribution to development of modern science. The scientific achievement in ancient times of China, with springing from the western science of ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and the other science of various countries of world, has enhanced each other's beauty for a long time, permeated each other, commonly developed, promoted the civilization of the human society to progress. China's ancient science and technology once made enormous contribution to the development of the world science and technology at that time. The overall level of science and technology was in leading position in the world at that time.The scientific and technical achievement in the Tang Dynasty is magnificent and brilliant. In mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, medical science, astronomy, agronomy, making porcelain, papermaking, printing, textile and metallurgy field, make staggering success. It has achieved great success, has enriched the treasure-house of the human culture, has promoted the process of the whole world civilization greatly. Great achievement of studying the ancient scientific of China found one of China's long scientific traditional culture again, can change the one-sided understanding in the past, strengthen the national self-respect and pride. Meanwhile, through exploring the deep layer of scientific and technological state of development of this period, reveal such a truth to people, i.e. only the combination of east and western science could create more brilliant achievement in the future.This text goes on research of scientific and technological development of country comparing with China and Europe, Arab, India, Japan, Korea from the beginning the seven to tenth century mainly, understand the development level of science and technology of various countries of this period, in order to assess the status in the scientific and technical history of the world of China's science and technology of this period objectively, realize the ancient science contribution and scientific influence in the future to establishing on the civilization process of the world in China correctly.The full text is divided into six chapters together. The concrete content is as follows:The outline of chapter one, mainly carry on the review objectively to the selected title meaning herein and existing research results, research approach and materials planned to adopt to this text at the same time introduce the brief one.Position of the fundamental science of chapter two. Have described achievements made and the exchange situations of the countries all over the world at that time in the fundamentals such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, etc. in the Tang Dynasty specifically. Through the research, get what contribution is made to progress of World Science in these the fundamentals in the Tang Dynasty, thus the real status which China that defined this historical period there should be in the world at that time in the fundamentals.Position of the applied science of chapter three. Achievements made carried on deep research in medicine and pharmacology, astronomical calendar and geography to the Tang Dynasty separately, have got concrete achievements made in these applied sciences in the Tang Dynasty, think the level of the Tang Dynasty to occupy the forefront of countries all over the world at that time in these fields. Still carry on the detailed argumentation with the exchange situation of the countries all over the world to the Tang Dynasty in these applied sciences at the same time, can't leave to the absorption of other country and national scientific payoff in progress in applied science in the Tang Dynasty, meanwhile, scientific and technological achievement for the Tang Dynasty especially various countries of east Asia exerted an enormous influence to the countries all over the world also conversely, have pushed forward the advance of its society.Position of the technological sciences of chapter four. In the agricultural production technology in the Tang Dynasty of argumentation separately, make porcelain technology, papermaking skill, art of printing, make wine technology, sugar refining technology, compass, textile technology, shipbuilding and metallurgy enormous progress that make. The obtaining of these great achievements, on one hand inherited the achievement of China's past dynasties science technical development, innovate to some extent on this basis, thus obtained the technological advantages of the countries all over the world at that time of leading; On the other hand made its enormous mind in the Tang Dynasty, absorbed the other countries and national technological scientific achievement extensively, combined China's inherent technological advantage, has made considerable progress in lots of fields, not only has promoted the development of China's social production and economics and society but also established China in the rank first in technological sciences of this historical period at the same time.Positions and characteristics of the education of science and technology of chapter five. The enormous achievement made in science and technology in the Tang Dynasty is closely related to more complete scientific and technological education system. This chapter has mainly done the detailed argumentation in such respects such as the system of the education of science and technology, educational content, examination system, characteristic of education of science and technology, etc. in the Tang Dynasty, also investigated scientific and technological structure of education, educational content and examination system of the countries all over the world at that time exhaustively at the same time, have any similarities and differences with the Tang Dynasty in these respects in order to understand it. Through the comparative study, really there are a lot of distinctive qualities in these respects in the Tang Dynasty to think, whether no matter the system or educational content, examination system of the education of science and technology, than other countries' completion. In addition, the scientific and technological structure of education of the Tang Dynasty has also produced influence deeply on various countries of East Asia. They have imitated System of Tang Dynasty and established the system of one's own educations of science and technology one after another, have trained a large number of talents, have promoted its society's progress.The reason why the science and technology is prosperous and historical contribution of chapter six. Probe into the Tang Dynasty science and technology prosperous social reason emphatically, mainly proceed with respects such as politics, the economy, society, history, etc, have analyzed the characteristic of reason and era with prosperous science and technology of the Tang Dynasty. To the overall characteristic of development in science and technology of the Tang Dynasty and to the contribution with progressive civilization of the world, have made deeper analysis too. Certainly, some limitation existed too in the development in science and technology in the Tang Dynasty, passed the analysis of these questions, though very great to our country's ancient scientific achievement, the reason not producing modern science has been reviewed.The development of science and technology is set up on the rich historical accumulation foundation in the Tang Dynasty, no matter compared with former generation, or compared with contemporary countries all over the world, have a new characteristic, its system is more complete, the class is more complete, all these have already benefited from long-term accumulation of China's civilization and good social environment of the Tang Dynasty, good at absorbing the outside civilization achievement and having close relations with the social open policy that is implemented in the Tang Dynasty at the same time. A kind of view thinks the achievement in such aspects as politics, military, culture was very great in the Tang Dynasty at present.Exactly based on the above cognition, this selected works have selected the science and technology of the Tang Dynasty as the research object, have investigated the state of development of science and technology of the Tang Dynasty in terms of visual field of the world for the first time, have combed the detailed conditions of cultural development of Chinese and foreign science and technology of this period in an all-round way more systematically from the macroscopic, have dissected and sought scientific and technological culture and the exchange orbits of countries all over the world, every area of the Tang Dynasty, have announced inherent structure, development model and basic situation that the civilization merge of various countries' scientific and technological culture, thus there is one to comparatively make a reservation clearly to status in the world at that time of science and technology of the Tang Dynasty, have opened up the new visual field of studying. |
