Compare the similarities and differences between feudal science in China and ancient Greek science.

Science in ancient Greece did not have a complete and independent scientific system, as we are saying now-to give a few examples: physics represented by empedocles, medicine represented by Hippocrates and biology represented by Aristotle, geometry-mathematics represented by Euclid and algebra-mathematics represented by Pythagoras. There are more or less myths about primitive people. Empedocles is full of metaphors about power, and Hippocrates absorbs eastern mysticism. Although Aristotle's biology is based on empirical observation and rational classification, there are always fallacies-for example, he thinks that men's bodies are more complete and advanced than women's, and the thoughts of Euclid and Pythagoras are theological, and the latter is the leader of political groups.

China ancient science, the general situation is the same.

But the biggest difference between them is that ancient Greek science established and gradually improved a set of logical reasoning and experience classification to ensure the authenticity of knowledge based on the exploration and curiosity of "original things" (such as ontology), especially in Socrates-Plato-Aristotle's discussion and determination of concept-deduction-synthesis form, which laid the foundation for the development of western science in later generations; China's research on things, such as astronomy and geography, has always been on the edge of knowledge, and has been brought into the stream of Yin and Yang, which has not been paid as much attention by the ancient Greeks. We also talked about knowledge about things, but we don't encourage the study of objects. We have Mozi and famous scholars to discuss logic, but we have not established a conceptual system (although Chinese medicine has its own system, it is not a strict conceptual system, but rooted in a "world basic"

The biggest difference between these two traditions may be based on language structure. The profound differences in expression between ancient Greek and Chinese lead to different ways of thinking, which are finally reflected in science: one lays the foundation for western professional knowledge, and the other somewhat hinders the study of professional knowledge.
