It's quite good and worth a look. At least you can understand the history of the development of firearms since ancient times, especially the development of firearms in our country since the Song and Ming Dynasties.
To live or not to live, that is the question. (Actually, there are four questions. 1. Choosing survival ultimately leads to destruction. 2. Choosing destruction ultimately leads to survival.)
Ever since humans learned to use fire, technology has developed rapidly like half of the explosion.
Super exciting, very good
A very good book, which systematically describes the development and influence of gunpowder and gunpowder weapons on human society. After gunpowder weapons were introduced to Europe, they smashed knights' castles and then flowed back to Asia to smash feudal dynasties. Human beings improved weapons, and weapons buried decay, promoting the progress of civilization in the confrontation of blood and fire.
History is composed of many cross-sections. This book analyzes the changes in Chinese history from the perspective of weapons, especially in the Song and Ming dynasties. This civilization was encroached by the nomadic civilization that lagged behind itself. This was essentially the decline of the political system, which led to the reversal of the advantages of civilization.
Existence is reasonable, and the process of evolution is from birth to destruction. You and I in the middle can just follow the path, and we can't force it! It's just that the metabolism is getting faster and faster
The content of this book is really interesting! The author Du Junli told the history very vividly and made me understand many details that I didn't know before. I especially like the part about wheels. I didn't expect that a small wheel would have such a big impact on human civilization. And the author's language is also very easy to understand, just like chatting with friends. I think this book is very suitable for new mothers like me. It can increase knowledge without feeling boring. Recommended to you!
An informative essay with unbiased views, worth reading.
Just so-so, I didn't feel much after watching it.
