About This Novel
Sericulture is an important skill created by the working people in ancient China. Silk fiber is China's most distinctive textile raw material. The names of fabrics such as silk, satin, brocade, and silk are distinguished by their silk weave structure. Ancient Chinese astronomical instruments can be divided into four categories: measuring instruments, such as equatorial mounts, armillary spheres, simplified spheres, etc.; Timing instruments, such as chronometers, sundials, cleats, etc.; Demonstration instruments, such as armillary spheres, sky-covering spheres, etc.; Comprehensive astronomical instruments, such as armillary spheres, water-operated telescopes, etc. Alchemy first originated in China, sprouted in the Warring States Period, and occurred in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It later developed increasingly with the support of Taoism and the tolerance of the imperial court, and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.
