What are the earliest objects in China that can reflect the combination of art and science

Chimes, the combination of musical art and music theory. Our ancestors as early as two dry four hundred years ago to figure out the best formula of copper, tin, lead three ingredients to get a beautiful tone; mastered the size of the bell, the bell wall thickness and pitch of the strict ratio, casting a different pitch of the compilation of the series; designed the unique bell shape and complex bell cavity structure of the "Hopwa", forming a wonderful The unique shape and complex structure of the bell cavity are designed to form a marvelous double tone and beautiful melody. The bell is a musical instrument used in ancient times for rituals and banquets. The upper part of the bell is called "gong", and the lower part is "drum", i.e. the sound producing part. The mouth of the bell is curved, called "Yu". Inside the wall has a deep groove Cao, the Department of tuning mill filed, due to the bell mouth curved, the bell body surface cast stalactites, the formation of sound attenuation faster, and the characteristics of the double tone.

The dragon wash is an ancient vessel used to hold water for washing or entertainment. According to legend, in the 10th-13th centuries AD, the craftsmen specially made for the palace, because there is a dragon pattern inside the basin and called the dragon wash. If the hand friction two ears get method, produce *** vibration, which will be held in the water fog, vibration, splash layers of waves, the most wonderful is the bottom of the basin by the four dragon mouth can be sprayed out of the 20-50 centimeters of the water, a great dragon fountain spouting beads of the wonderful. The source of the splash, coincidentally carved in the bottom of the basin with four dragons of the dragon's mouth position, the design is ingenious, graphic different, beautiful very much, and then became a folk entertainment products. By modern vibration and wave theory analysis and experimental research, this is a thin shell cylinder self-excited oscillation caused by different vibration type.

Translucent mirror translucent mirror is the middle and late Western Han Dynasty with a special effect known as the "magic mirror" of the bronze mirror. Embodying the principles of optics and mechanics. When the light shines on the mirror, the pattern on the back of the mirror will be reflected on the wall facing the mirror. According to the relevant experts, that this copper mirror in the casting process, the mirror back of the pattern pattern concave and convex due to different thickness, by solidification contraction and casting stress, casting by research and ink and pressure stress, thus forming the physical properties of the elastic deformation. When the ink to a certain extent, this elastic deformation of iterative effect and make the mirror surface and mirror back pattern between the corresponding curvature, which leads to the appearance of this effect of light transmission.

Ancient gardens are a combination of garden art and architecture. China's gardens have a history of more than three thousand years, in the world of architecture has long been renowned, especially in Suzhou gardening for the best.
