Using pictures of ancient artefacts and modern photographs, this book examines how the legacy of Ancient China lives on today. Paper and printing were known and used there many years before they reached the rest of the world. Chinese engineers built some of the first canals and Chinese scientists invented the compass, gunpowder and porcelain.
