List of Chinese Inventions

太好了。
除了医学和可再生能源领域，中国在科学技术方面有着悠久的发明历史。
中国发明清单

China has been the source of many innovations, scientific discoveries and inventions. This includes the Four Great Inventions: papermaking, the compass, gunpowder, and printing (both woodblock and movable type). The list below contains these and other inventions in China attested by archaeological or historical evidence.

中国是许多创新科技、科学发现和发明创造的发源地。这其中包括四大发明:造纸术、指南针、火药和印刷术(木版和活字)。下面的清单包含了四大发明以及其他被考古或历史证明的发明。

The historical region now known as China experienced a history involving mechanics, hydraulics and mathematics applied to horology, metallurgy, astronomy, agriculture, engineering, music theory, craftsmanship, naval architecture and warfare. By the Warring States period (403–221 BC), inhabitants of the Warring States had advanced metallurgic technology, including the blast furnace and cupola furnace, while the finery forge and puddling process were known by the Han Dynasty (202 BC–AD 220). A sophisticated economic system in imperial China gave birth to inventions such as paper money during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). The invention of gunpowder during the mid 9th century led to an array of inventions such as the fire lance, land mine, naval mine, hand cannon, exploding cannonballs, multistage rocket and rocket bombs with aerodynamic wings and explosive payloads. With the navigational aid of the 11th century compass and ability to steer at high sea with the 1st century sternpost rudder, premodern Chinese sailors sailed as far as East Africa. In water-powered clockworks, the premodern Chinese had used the escapement mechanism since the 8th century and the endless power-transmitting chain drive in the 11th century. They also made large mechanical puppet theaters driven by waterwheels and carriage wheels and wine-serving automatons driven by paddle wheel boats.

这片经历了包括力学、水力学、应用于测时法的数学、冶炼学、天文学、农业、工程学、音乐学、工艺学、造船和军事学的历史地区就是现在的中国。到了战国时期(公元前403-221年)，居民已经拥有了先进的冶金技术，包括鼓风炉和化铁炉，而到了汉朝(公元前202 -公元220年)，人们已经知道了精炼炉锻造和灌钢法。在帝制时期的中国的复杂经济体系催生了诸如宋代(960-1279)纸币等发明。9世纪中期火药的发明带来了一系列相关发明创造，如火枪、地雷、水雷、手铳、爆炸炮弹、多级火箭和带有空气动力机翼和爆炸载荷的火箭炸弹。11世纪在航海指南针的帮助，前现代的航海员利用公元1世纪尾舵在有浪海上航行的技术，最远到达了东非。水力钟表方面，前现代中国人从公元8世纪就开始使用擒纵机构，公元11世纪就使用无止无尽的动力传动链进行传动。他们还制作了大型的机械木偶剧院，由水车和马车轮驱动，以及由桨轮船驱动的机器酒保。

The contemporaneous Peiligang and Pengtoushan cultures represent the oldest Neolithic cultures of China and were formed around 7000 BC. Some of the first inventions of Neolithic China include semilunar and rectangular stone knives, stone hoes and spades, the cultivation of millet and the soybean, the refinement of sericulture, the building of rammed earth structures with lime-plastered house floors, the creation of pottery with cord-mat-basket designs, the creation of pottery tripods and pottery steamers and the development of ceremonial vessels and scapulimancy for purposes of divination. The British sinologist Francesca Bray argues that the domestication of the ox and buffalo during the Longshan culture (c. 3000–c. 2000 BC) period, the absence of Longshan-era irrigation or high-yield crops, full evidence of Longshan cultivation of dry-land cereal crops which gave high yields “only when the soil was carefully cultivated,” suggest that the plough was known at least by the Longshan culture period and explains the high agricultural production yields which allowed the rise of Chinese civilization during the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–c. 1050 BC). Later inventions such as the multiple-tube seed drill and heavy moldboard iron plough enabled China to sustain a much larger population through greater improvements in agricultural output.

几乎处于同一时代的裴李岗文化和彭头山文化形成于公元前7000年左右，是中国最古老的新石器时代文化。中国新石器时代第一批发明包括半月形和长方形的石刀,石锄、和石铲，小米和大豆种植，细化养蚕,夯土结构与石灰粉刷的地板，还创造了绳印纹陶器，三足陶鼎和陶船，礼器得到了发展，以及肩胛骨占卜术。英国汉学家白馥兰认为，在龙山文化时期(约公元前3000到公元前2000年)就对牛和水牛进行了驯化饲养，没有找到龙山时期的灌溉方式，也没有找到当时的高产作物，而且有完整的证据表明，龙山文化时期采用旱地谷类作物的耕作方式，而只有“进行耕种的土壤”才能出现高产谷类作物，这表明龙山文化时期已经开始使用犁，这就解释了为什么中华文明能在商朝(公元前1600年到公元前1050年)崛起。后来的发明，如多管播种机和重型犁板的铁犁，使中国能够通过更大的农业产量来维持更多的人口。

Neolithic cultures in Southern China, such as the Liangzhu, Majiabang, and Hemudu, were precursors of the Austronesian, Austroasiatic, Kra-Dai, and Hmong-Mien speakers. They were collectively referred to as Baiyue or “barbarians”. They were the sites of early Neolithic advancements like rice cultivation and paddy field agriculture. The most advanced examples which might have represented the earliest true states are the Daxi and Qujialing cultures (possibly Hmong-Mien) of the Upper Yangtze; and the Hemudu, Majiabang and Liangzhu cultures of the Yangtze Delta (pre-Austronesian). These peoples moved further south in response to the Han expansion at around 200 BC. Pre-Austronesians, in particular, settled Taiwan from the Fujian region, then spread out rapidly into Island Southeast Asia, Micronesia, Island Melanesia, Polynesia, and Madagascar.[16]

中国南方的新石器时代文化，如良渚、马家浜、河姆渡等，是南岛语、南亚语、侗台语和苗瑶语的祖先。他们被统称为百越或“野蛮人”。这些地方是新石器时代早期先进技术的遗址，这里有水稻种植和水田农业。最先进的例子，可能出现了最早的真正意义上的国家的是位于长江上游的大溪和屈家岭文化(可能是苗族和瑶族)；以及长江三角洲的河姆渡、马家浜和良渚文化(南岛文明之前)。公元前200年左右，随着汉人的扩张，这些民族向南迁移。特别是南岛人，从福建地区迁走，定居在台湾，然后迅速扩展到东南亚岛屿、密克罗尼西亚、美拉尼西亚岛、波利尼西亚和马达加斯加等地区。

For the purposes of this list, inventions are regarded as technological firsts developed in China, and as such does not include foreign technologies which the Chinese acquired through contact, such as the windmill from the Middle East or the telescope from early modern Europe. It also does not include technologies developed elsewhere and later invented separately by the Chinese, such as the odometer, water wheel, and chain pump. Scientific, mathematical or natural discoveries, changes in minor concepts of design or style and artistic innovations do not appear on the list.

我上面列举的内容是想说明，发明创造在中国被认为是科学技术中排在第一位的，因为这里面不包括中国人通过接触获得的外国技术，如中东的风车或近代欧洲早期的望远镜。也不包括其他地方开发的技术，后来由中国人在这些技术的基础上单独的发明创造，如里程表、水车和链式泵。科学、数学或自然发现、设计或风格等小概念的变化和艺术的创新都不在清单上。

The Four Great Inventions are inventions from ancient China that are celebrated in Chinese culture and history for their significance and as symbols of ancient China’s advanced science and technology.

“四大发明”是中国古代的发明，因其重要性和作为中国古代先进科学技术的象征而在中国文化和历史上享有盛誉。

The Four Great Inventions are: Compass, Gunpowder, Papermaking, Printing

四大发明是:指南针、火药、造纸、印刷术

These four discoveries had a profound impact on the development of civilization throughout the world. However, some modern Chinese scholars have opined that other Chinese inventions were perhaps more sophisticated and had a greater impact on Chinese civilization – the Four Great Inventions serve merely to highlight the technological interaction between East and West.

四大发明对世界文明发展产生了深远的影响。然而，一些现代中国学者认为，中国其他发明可能更复杂，对中华文明的影响更深远——四大发明只是突出了东西方之间的技术互动。

After the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949, China reorganized its science establishment along Soviet lines. Although the country regressed scientifically as a result of government policies which led to famine during the Great Leap Forward and political chaos during the Cultural Revolution, scientific research in nuclear weapons and satellite launching still gained great success. From 1975, science and technology was one of the Four Modernizations, and its high-speed development was declared essential to all national economic development by Deng Xiaoping. Other civilian technologies such as superconductivity and high-yield hybrid rice led to new developments due to the application of science to industry and foreign technology transfer.

1949年中国成立后，中国按照苏联的路线重组了科学机构。......但是在核武器和卫星发射方面的科学研究仍然取得了巨大成就。1975年开始，科学技术现代化成了中国要实现的四个现代化之一，邓宣布科学技术高速发展是国民经济发展的基础。其他民用技术，如超导和高产杂交水稻，由于应用于工业和外国技术转让，出现了新的发展。

As the People’s Republic of China becomes better connected to the global economy, the government has placed more emphasis on science and technology. This has led to increases in funding, improved scientific structure, and more money for research. These factors have led to advancements in agriculture, medicine, genetics, and global change. In 2003, the Chinese space program allowed China to become the third country to send humans into space, and ambition to put a man on mars by 2030. In the 2000s and 2010s, China became a top scientific and industrial power in more advanced fields such as super computing, artificial intelligence, bullet trains, aeronautics, nuclear physics researches and other fields.

随着中国与全球经济的联系日益紧密，政府将更多的中心转移到了科技发展上。这就导致科技发展资金增长，科学结构改善，更多的资金被用于科学研究。这给中国农业、医学、遗传学领域带来了发展，并进一步改变了世界全球。2003年，中国的太空计划使中国成为第三个将人类送入太空的国家，而且中国还计划在2030年将人类送上火星。21世纪前二十年里，中国成了超级计算、人工智能、子弹头列车、航空学、核物理研究等先进领域的强国。

In 2016, China became the country with the highest science output, as measured in publications. While the US had been the biggest producer of scientific studies until then, China published 426,000 studies in 2016 while the US published 409,000. However, the numbers are somewhat relative, as it also depends how authorship on international collaborations is counted (e.g. if one paper is counted per person or whether authorship is split among authors).

2016年，中国成为科学产出最高的国家。在此之前，美国一直是科学研究的最大国。中国2016年发表了42.6万篇论文，而美国发表了40.9万篇。然而，这些数字是相对的，因为也取决于如何计算国际合作的作者身份如何确认(例如，合著论文是每人算一篇，还是在所有作者共同分著作权)。

China’s investment in research and development is expected to reach 2.5% of GDP, and the contribution of scientific and technological advances toward economic growth should come to reach 60%.

预计中国对研发的投资占国内生产总值的2.5%，科技进步对经济增长的贡献率达到60%。

这台超级计算机于2016年6月20日发布，其运算速度达到惊人的93千万亿次每秒(每秒千万亿次计算)。计算机的处理器和技术都是在中国设计的。

Renewable Energy in China
China is the world’s leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States. By the end of 2018, the country had a total capacity of 728 GW of renewable power, mainly from hydroelectric and wind power. China’s renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity.

中国的可再生能源
中国是世界上使用可再生能源发电最多的国家，发电量是排名第二的美国的两倍多。截至2018年底，全国可再生能源发电能力728千兆瓦，主要来自水电和风电。中国可再生能源行业的增长速度超过了化石燃料和核能的产能。

Although China currently has the world’s largest installed capacity of hydro, solar and wind power, its energy needs are so large that in 2015 renewable sources provided only 24% of its electricity generation, with most of the remainder provided by coal power plants. In 2017, renewable energy comprised 36.6% of China’s total installed electric power capacity, and 26.4% of total power generation, the vast majority from hydroelectric sources. Nevertheless, the share of renewable sources in the energy mix had been gradually rising in recent years.

尽管中国目前拥有世界上最大的水电、太阳能和风能装机容量，但其能源需求如此巨大，2015年可再生能源仅占发电总量的24%，其余大部分由燃煤电厂提供。2017年，可再生能源占中国电力装机容量的36.6%，占发电总量的26.4%，其中绝大部分来自水力发电。然而，可再生能源在能源结构中所占的比例近年来已逐渐上升。

China sees renewables as a source of energy security and not just only to reduce carbon emission China’s Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution issued by China’s State Council in September 2013, illustrates the government’s desire to increase the share of renewables in China’s energy mix Unlike oil, coal and gas, the supplies of which are finite and subject to geopolitical tensions, renewable energy systems can be built and used wherever there is sufficient water, wind, and sun

中国认为可再生能源不光是能减少碳排放，而且是能源安全的一个来源。中国国务院在2013年9月发布的《大气污染防治行动计划》为了预防和控制空气污染，这说明政府希望增加可再生能源在中国能源结构中的比重。石油、煤炭和天然气的供应是有限的，受地缘政治紧张局势影响，而可再生能源的建造和使用不受限制，只需要有足够的水,风,和光照。

As Chinese renewable manufacturing has grown, the costs of renewable energy technologies have dropped dramatically. Innovation has helped, but the main driver of reduced costs has been market expansion. In 2015, China became the world’s largest producer of photovoltaic power, with 43 GW of total installed capacity. From 2005 to 2014, production of solar cells in China has expanded 100-fold. However, China is not expected to achieve grid parity – when an alternate source of energy is as cheap or cheaper than power purchased from the grid—until 2022. In 2017, investments in renewable energy amounted to US$279.8 billion worldwide, with China accounting for US$126.6 billion or 45% of the global investments.

随着中国可再生能源制造业的发展，可再生能源技术的成本大幅下降。创新对此有所帮助，但降低成本的主要动力是市场扩张。2015年，中国成为全球最大的光伏发电生产国，总装机容量达43千兆瓦。从2005年到2014年，中国的太阳能电池产量增长了100倍。然而，在2022年之前，中国预计不会实现电网平价——即一种与电网提供的电力价格一样或者更便宜的替代能源。2017年，全球可再生能源投资2798亿美元，其中中国占1266亿美元，占全球投资的45%。

Wind Power
China has the largest wind resources in the world and three-quarters of this natural resource is located at sea. China aims to have 210 GW of wind power capacity by 2020. China encourages foreign companies, especially from the United States, to visit and invest in Chinese wind power generation. However, use of wind energy in China has not always kept up with the remarkable construction of wind power capacity in the country.

风力发电
中国拥有世界最大的风能资源，其中四分之三的自然资源位于海上。中国的目标是到2020年风电装机容量达到2.1亿千瓦。中国鼓励外国公司，特别是美国公司，到中国参观和投资风力发电。然而，中国的风能利用并没有与该国引人注目的风力发电能力建设同步。

In 2008 China was the fourth largest producer of wind power after the United States, Germany, and Spain. At the end of 2008, wind power in China accounted for 12.2 GW of electricity generating capacity. By the end of 2008, at least fifteen Chinese companies were commercially producing wind turbines and several dozen more were producing components. Turbine sizes of 1.5 MW and 2 MW became common. Leading wind power companies were Goldwind, Dongfang, and Sinovel. China also increased the production of small-scale wind turbines to about 80,000 turbines (80 MW) in 2008. Through all these developments, the Chinese wind industry appeared unaffected by the global financial crisis, according to industry observers.

2008年，中国是世界第四大风能生产国，仅次于美国、德国和西班牙。2008年底，中国风电装机容量达12.2千兆瓦。到2008年底，至少有15家中国企业开始商业化生产风力涡轮机，另有几十家企业生产零部件。1.5兆瓦和2兆瓦的涡轮机已经很普遍。行业领先的风力发电公司是金风、东方和华锐风电。2008年，中国还将小型风力涡轮机的产量提高到约8万台(80兆瓦)。行业观察人士表示，就目前行业发展来看，中国风电行业似乎没有受到全球金融危机的影响。

By 2009 China had total installed windpower capacity up to 26 GW. China has identified wind power as a key growth component of the country’s economy.

到2009年，中国的风力发电装机容量已达到2600千兆瓦。中国已经将风力发电确定为国家经济增长的关键组成部分。

As of 2010, China has become the world’s largest maker of wind turbines, surpassing Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the United States. The initial future target set by the Chinese government was 10 GW by 2010, but the total installed capacity for wind power generation in China had already reached 25.1 GW by the end of 2009.

2010年，中国已经超过丹麦、德国、西班牙和美国，成为世界上最大的风力涡轮机制造商。中国最初设定的2010年风电装机容量目标是1000万千瓦，但到2009年底，中国风电总装机容量已达到2510万千瓦。

In September, 2019, Norwegian energy firm Equinor and state-owned China Power International Holding (CPIH) announced their plan to cooperate in developing offshore wind in China and Europe.

2019年9月，挪威能源公司Equinor和国有的中国电力国际控股宣布了在中国和欧洲合作开发海上风能的计划。

Solar Power
China produces 63% of the world’s solar photovoltaics (PV). It has emerged as the world’s largest manufacturer as of June 2015.

太阳能发电
中国生产了世界上63%的太阳能光伏电池。截至2015年6月，中国已成为全球最大的制造商。

Following the new incentive scheme of Golden Sun announced by the government in 2009, there are numerous recent developments and plans announced by industry players that became part of the milestones for solar industry and technology development in China, such as the new thin film solar plant developed by Anwell Technologies in the Henan province using its own proprietary solar technology. The agreement was signed by LDK for a 500 MW solar project in the desert, alongside First Solar and Ordos City. The effort to drive the renewable energy use in China was further assured after the speech of the Chinese President given at the UN climate summit on 22 September 2009 in New York, pledging that China would adopt plans to use 15% of its energy from renewable sources within a decade.

政府2009年宣布金太阳新激励方案后，有许多最近的进展和计划宣布的行业参与者,成为里程碑的一部分在中国太阳能产业和技术的发展,如新薄膜太阳能发电厂Anwell技术发达的河南省使用自己的专有的太阳能技术。LDK与First solar和鄂尔多斯市签署了该协议，将在沙漠地区建设一个500兆瓦的太阳能项目。努力推动可再生能源的使用在中国进一步向演讲后2009年9月22日在联合国气候峰会在纽约,承诺,中国将采取计划用十年内15%的能源来自可再生能源。
