What is the most important invention invented in ancinet china and why?

So many of our everyday things were invented in China.  It was important back then and now.  Have you ever wondered what the most important invention was?  Well it is kind of obvious but the answer is paper.  The reason why is because hardly ever does a day go by where we don't use paper.  It would be really hard to live without it! 

How were fireworks discovered and by who?

When you think of fireworks you probably think of the burst of colors on the night of the 4th of July.  Have you ever wondered how and why fireworks came into existence?  Well 1,000 years ago in the Song dynasty a chinese cook was mixing ingredients together.  Whatever he mixed together began to spark and explode.  Talk about frightining!  Turns out the discovery of fireworks was pretty important.

Porcelain... What is it and how was it made?

I know what your thinking.  What is porcelain?  Well porcelain is also reffered to as china.  Now your following aren't you.  Well the first time porcelain was made was in the Han dynasty.  Porcelain is made out of white clay.  This white clay is fired in a kiln at very high temperatures.  I'm talking hotter than the Sahara Desert.  After it is fired different types of glazes are put on it.  Designs are also painted on it.  Did you know that for the longest time no one outside of China could figure out how to make it?  Porcelain must have been a pretty good secret back then.

Where does silk come from and how is it made?

Have you ever wondered where the soft silk comes from and how it is made?  Well silk comes from silk worms. The process was started in 2600 BC, during the Han Dynasty. When the silk worm makes it cocoon it is spun out of silk.  A single cocoon had about 1,968 feet!  I don't know what you think about that but I think it is a lot of silk!  To get the silk the larva must be killed first.  To do this they place the cocoon in hot water.  After that they must unravel the cocoon.  It is a very careful and patient process.

Why is paper an important invention and how is it made?

Paper might not seem that important to us especially since our homework is usually on it.  If it weren't for the invention of paper, today we could still possibly be writing on clay tabelets.  That would make homework twice as hard! So you might be wondering... how did we go from clay tabelets to paper?  Well a long, long time ago in 105 AD the first process, the pulp process was invented.  Later on a court official named Cai Lun invented the process of making the paper out of bark.  This was more cheaper, lighter, thiner and more durable.  As you can tell we have come a long way with the paper making process.
