This book "Ancient Chemistry" is very interesting! It taught me about the origins of primitive pottery and metallurgy, as well as ancient brewing chemistry and daily chemical processes. It feels like traveling back in time to ancient times and seeing the wisdom and creativity of those pioneers. This reminds me of the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", both of which tell the story of the development of ancient science and technology. But I don't really like the conservative characters in the book who always hinder the development of technology. They are like villains and are always annoying. Overall, this is a very interesting book and worth reading!
