A polymath, in modern terms, is an educated jack of all trades. He was a scholar, an astronomer, a cartographer, minerologist, pharmacologist, and a poet in his spare time. He was also the ambassador of the Song Dynasty. His greatest contribution was his huge hydro-mechanical clock tower. He died in 1101 at 81 years of age in Kaifeng, China.]]> 2017-07-03 01:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/groovexchild/susonghum2/wish/177913167
