A country's traditional culture on the progress of science and technology will have what kind of impact!

Science and technology is an important part of culture, but also in the cultural atmosphere of the whole society exists and develops, a certain cultural matrix constitutes the social conditions of science and technology to occur and develop. The core of culture is a collection of values and behavioral norms. Such values and behavioral norms are dissolved in various social systems and implied in people's social behaviors and lifestyles, and through the accumulation of history to form a strong cultural tradition. This cultural tradition constitutes the soil for the growth of science and technology, which influences people's understanding of science and technology, the way of thinking of scientific and technological creation, the practical behavior of engaging in scientific and technological activities, the scientific and technological system of the society as well as the development of science and technology. Looking at the development of science and technology in China in various periods and the cultural characteristics of each period, it is easy to see that science and technology is y marked by culture[1] . 1. The development of science and technology in China Was there science in the East? Why was there little or no science in the East? The answer to the first question seems to be a resounding no. Prof. Shelton says: "The West produced natural science, the East did not." Northrop also says, "There are few sciences (in the East) which exceed the knowledge of the shallowest and most preliminary natural epics." 1.1 Ancient China's achievements in scientific and technological development were mainly technological Ancient China had many scientific and technological achievements that we can be proud of. China had the four great inventions, printing, gunpowder, compass, and papermaking, which spread to the West and greatly influenced the world's landscape. The English philosopher Francis Bacon once said, "We should observe the power, efficacy, and consequences of various inventions. The most striking examples are the printing press, gunpowder, and the compass, which have changed the whole face and state of things in the world, the first in literature, the second in war, and the third in navigation, and have produced innumerable changes in consequence. Such changes were so great that no empire, no sect, no hegemonic personage could have exerted a greater power and influence in the cause of mankind than these three mechanical inventions", and that "these inventions and discoveries in China were often far superior to those of their contemporaries in Europe, and this was especially true before the fifteenth century ". China's ancient scientific and technological development was world-leading for quite some time. To sum up, the science and technology of ancient China made us proud of the results, but most of them are technical achievements, are people in the long-term production practice to summarize the experience gained by some technical improvements, many famous inventions and creations are directly from the experience summarized in the production practice, and did not go in depth to study the theoretical things, more utilitarian, and there is no natural sciences in the detailed division of the tendency. Therefore, in ancient China, there was technology, but not science.
