Christopher Columbus did not discovered America, China did before 1430! China has always been developing science and technology, just never considered them as revolutionary. 哥倫布沒有發現美洲，中國在 1430 年之前發現了！ 中國一直在發展科學技術，只是從不認為它們是革命性的.
China has been sharing all the science and technology with the West. Beyond the well known paper making, printing press, compass and gunpowder, the West has learned mathematics, astronomy, calendar, agriculture, medicine, plant taxonomy, agriculture.
Although they disguise these as “Renaissance”, it is now clear that:
- These science and technology publications existed in China 200 to 1000 years before they were translated into European languages. Geometry, surveying, mapping.
- The 7000 books that were allegedly brought to China by Jesuit priests have never been found, yet there are 7000 volumes (how coincidental!) of Chinese books kept in the Vatican. Apparently this is a translation error of active and passive voice!
- The history of European printing starting from the 1450s (Gutenberg) did not produce 7000 titles of printed books. The books were in Latin and >50% are related to religion and literature, with few books in science and technology.
- In 1600, Giodano Bruno was burnt in the public for preaching Heliocentric theory. Galileo was house arrested until his death for the same reason. He could not publish his scientific works. All these were after the death of Matteo Ricci (1610) who we have been told to have brought Western science to China! Europe did not encourage science and technology before the missionaries came to China.
- There is no way the alphabetic language can be translated to bridge a gap of 1000 years (from the fall of the Roman Empire to Renaissance). If we cannot transliterate and understand different contemporary Chinese dialects, it is unrealistic to believe that the Rosetta stone can lead to true interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyph, demotic, and Greek without any change in grammar, dialect, and spelling, over several thousand years.
The notion that China never had science and technology is totally fabricated by parties of interest during the transition of Ming to Qing dynasty. The story is too long to cover in an email. The history of the last 400 years has been totally reversed.
This misunderstanding (or lie) is too big to fail!
It all stem from the detailed study of 坤輿萬國全圖. This history will be revealed and revised, hopefully in our generation.
