The compass and magnetic compass was invented in 206 BCE as early as the Han Dynasty. This invention would lead to easier navigation and eventually sea travel. Without the compass Europe might never have discovered America. I think this is the most important contribution China made because of the way it effected travel.

Tea was first made in the Tang Dynasty. Tea is known all around the world for its many different properties. Tea is drank all around the world. This is ranked the fifth contribution because though well known, it didn’t influence and further crucial discoveries or inventions.

The contributions I chose felt very important and well known. Many are things that are used often and have influenced other things. I chose the compass first because it seemed like the most crucial. The smallpox vaccine was a close second as it saved many lives. I thought bookmaking was more important than the multiplication table because of how often we use books, and how important they were before the internet. I thought tea should be last as even though it is very well known, the other contributions were more important.
