Last stop Economy

How did the song dynasty inventions help their economy?

How did the song dynasty printing help their dynasty and other cultures?

Third stop on printing

Only the chinese could make silk and the Romans first class wore silk so from trading so far they made many good trades. Also so many other countries wanted silk.Which helped with trading. Porcelain was very popular. It was used for decoration and food. It was traded mostly with Europe. Which helped with money.

Gunpowder was very advance and was mostly traded with the europeans. Gunpowder was used for fireworks and for guns. It was traded and gave the chinese lots of money. Trading, all of the trading with the chinese made their economy really thrived. It helped with money and with others dynasty's or clans.

The song dynasty printing made a lot of books from printing. Which made it easier to have more copies of the same book to sell and make money.

Block printing was invented in early Tang dynasty. It was a lot easier than wood carving. Then the song dynasty came and invented a easier way to print. The movable printing system. It was a lot easier to print now and it was faster to make books. This made it easier to bring books to other places.

The song dynasty made faster printing and that made it easier to print and make copies of books faster. That made it easier

The faster you make books the faster you can trade which helps them with economy and money.

Also when printing the books, the more copies you have the more you can sell which gives them money and that helps with money and economy.

Having books faster just over all helps with their economy and with helping their dynasty become richer and this is all just from printing.

First stop influences

What are the consequences and/or contribution of using the song dynasty inventions? Why?

Second stop the goods and the bads

Lets go on an adventure. Would you like to see the hall of inventions for the song Dynasty?

Gunpowder has many good effects. It brought fireworks and a faster way kill. But the only problem is death. With all the wars happening and the chineses just found a way to kill faster that means a lot of more people are going to die. The Mongolians are the ones who brought gunpowder to the west. Although the song dynasty economy thrived for a while the song dynasty began to fall. They were spending all their money on new inventions and not on the common good. The government started to ignore the people and soon poverty started and the dynasty fell. The very first clock was constructed by someone named Yi Xing. The the song dynasty came and a person named Su Song came and made a more advanced type of mechanical clock that we still use today. The benefit from this inventions is can tell time much faster. The song dynasty invented restaurants because they wanted to have a place where travelers could eat. Also so people could have a place to eat with others and to have parties. The song dynasty made many porcelain bowls that they used in restaurants to eat fried noodles out of. But these bowls were not only pretty to eat out of they also were used to trade. That made their economy very rich.

The chinese created many great things. They found a way to kill people faster with gunpowder. That invention took a really big part in the civil war and how we celebrate the fourth of July/ independence day. They used gunpowder to trade and use for their own needs. But you could not have gotten that without paper money. The song dynasty created but before that was but the earliest copper, silver and gold in the shang. The song dynasty used paper money and America too was first using coins then took in chinese culture and started using paper money. Then they made the compass. Americans us the compass a lot. It’s in our cars. We can download apps to get the compass on our phones or device. We can now direct with a compass in hand or an electronic one. The Chinese song dynasty created the stirrup to be able to ride horses easier. One of America's popular activities are horseback riding. The porcelain the chinese made was just beautiful. The chinese used that porcelain to trade and to drink tea out of. Americans now use it for decorations of for dining.
