During the Ming Dynasty in China, compared with the western countries at that time, what advanced technologies were there?

During the Ming Dynasty, compared with the western countries at that time, China had advanced science and technology in medicine, physics, mining and chemical industry.

As a leading science and technology, medicine was still very developed and advanced in the Ming Dynasty. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica is a medical work. This book is very famous, which not only affects our country, but also affects our neighboring countries, especially Koreans, who want to apply for Compendium of Materia Medica as a national heritage.

Physics, the leading science and technology, according to Song's Theory of Sound and Qi, sound is produced by the vibration or impact of objects. Only later people did not continue to study, indicating that the Ming Dynasty began to study the spread of sound, and this technology was earlier than that of western countries.

Three kinds of mines with advanced technology and 10 kinds of mines are recorded in the Ming dynasty's military work "Wu Bei Zhi". Think about how high the scientific and technological level of the Ming Dynasty was, and invented 10 kinds of mines. Although it is not as good as the current mine, it is enough to represent the technical level at that time.

According to Song's Heavenly Creations, there are many chemical methods. He put forward different objects and extracted different objects. For example, Song refined brass, saying that zinc is a metal, and described the process in detail.

At the same time, heavenly creations have had a great impact on Europe and provided technical guidance for the industrial revolution in Europe. European partners improved and perfected the methods recorded in this book, and finally the industrial revolution broke out. It can be said that "Tiangong Wu Kai" contributed a lot.
