Four Great Inventions of Ancient China -- printing
Block Printing

With the inventions of paper and ink, stamper graally became popular ring the Jin Dynasty (265-420), which was the early form of Carved Type Printing. Block Printing first appeared in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The text was first written on a piece of thin paper, then glued face down onto a wooden plate. The characters were carved out to make a wood-block printing plate, which was used to print the text. Wood-block printing took a long time as a new block had to be carved for every page in a book.

It took a lot of time and energy as well as materials to prepare for printing a book, but it worked more effectively afterwards. This technology was graally introced to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Yet, Block Printing had its drawbacks -- all the boards became useless after the printing was done and a single mistake in carving could ruin the whole block. The frontispiece of the world's oldest surviving book, the Diamond Sutra printed in the year 868, was discovered at Dunhuang Cave, along the Silk Road. The book, in the form of a roll, is the earliest woodcut illustration in a printed book.
Movable Type Printing

Block Printing was a costly and time-consuming process, for each carved block could only be used for a specific page of a particular book, besides, a single mistake in carving could ruin the whole block. However movable type changed all of that.

In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), a man named Bi Sheng carved indivial characters on identical pieces of fine clay. Each piece of movable type had on it one Chinese character which was carved in relief on a small block of moistened clay. After the block had been hardened by fire, the type became hard and rable and could be used wherever required. The pieces of movable type could be glued to an iron plate and easily detached from the plate. Each piece of character could be assembled to print a page and then broken up and redistributed as needed. When the printing was finished, the pieces were put away for future use.
By the year1000, paged books in the modern style had replaced scrolls. Two color printing (black and red) was seen as early as 1340.
This technology then spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Europe. Later, German Johann Gutenberg invented movable type made of metal in the 1440s. Movable Type Printing developed very fast. Based on clay type, type made of wood, lead, tin and copper graally appeared.
The invention of gunpowder had a close relationship with the advanced ancient workmanship of smelting instry. People began to know a lot of chemistry knowledge about the nature of different mineral materials ring the process of smelting operation. With the knowledge, ancient necromancers tried to seek the elixir of immortality from certain kinds of ores and fuel. Although they failed to get what they were looking for, they discovered that an explosive mixture could be proced by combining sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). This mixture finally led to the invention of gunpowder although its exact date of invention still remains unknown. (來源：英語麥當勞www.EnglishCN.com)

Many historical materials indicate that gunpowder first appeared before the Tang Dynasty (618-907). From 300 to 650AD several recipes were written about inflammable mixtures. Some historians date the invention of gunpowder at 850AD when a Taoist book warned of three specific elixir formulas as too dangerous to experiment.
The military applications of gunpowder began in the Tang Dynasty. Explosive bombs filled with gunpowder and fired from catapults were used in wars. During the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1368), the military applications of gunpowder became common and some other weapons like "fire cannon", "rocket", "missile" and "fireball" were introced.
In the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), the method of powder-making was introced to the Arab world and Europe, bringing a series of revolutions to weapon manufacturing, as well as to stratagem and tactics on the battlefield. From Italy the making of gunpowder soon spread to other European countries, and by the 1350s it had become an effective weapon on the battlefield.

Four Great Inventions of Ancient China -- Paper

(來源：英語問答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

China was the first nation who invented paper. The earliest form of paper first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-23AD), but the paper was generally very thick, coarse and uneven in their texture, made from pounded and disintegrated hemp fibers. The paper unearthed in a Han tomb in Gansu Province is by far the earliest existing ancient paper, tracing back to the early Western Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), a court official named Cai Lun made a new kind of paper from bark, hemp, rags, fishnet, wheat stalks and other materials. It was relatively cheap, light, thin, rable and more suitable for brush writing.

The art of paper-making spread east to Korea and Japan at the beginning of the seventh century (the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty). In the eighth century, along with the Silk Road, the Arab countries began to learn how to make paper. It took about 400 years for paper to traverse the Arab world to Europe. In the 14th century many paper mills were established in Italy, from where the workmanship of paper-making spread to the European countries such as Germany. The Italians vigorously proced the material and exported large amounts of it, dominating the European market for many years. In the 16th century, the art of paper-making appeared in Russia and Holland, and it spread to Britain in the 17th century.

Before paper was invented, Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, had to go over 120 kilos of official documents written on bamboo or wooden strips. With the invention of paper, the popularization of knowledge has turned into reality. The invention of paper is an epoch-making event in human history.
Early in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BC), while mining ores and melting copper and iron, Chinese people chanced upon a natural magnetite that attracted iron and pointed fixedly north. In the Warring States Period (206BC-23AD), after constant improvement the round compass came into being. Referred to as a "South-pointer", the spoon- or ladle- shaped compass is of magnetic lodestone, and the plate is of Bronze. The circular center represents Heaven, and the square plate represents Earth. The handle of the spoon points south. The spoon is a symbolic representation of the Great Bear. The plate bears Chinese characters which denote the eight main directions of north, north-east, east, etc. This type of compass has been scientifically tested and found to work tolerably well.
By the time of the Tang dynasty (618-907) and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Chinese scholars had devised a way to magnetize iron needles, by rubbing them with magnetite, and then suspending them in water. They also observed that needles cooled from red heat and held in the north-south orientation (the earth's axis) would become magnetic. These more refined needle compasses could then be floated in water (wet compass), placed upon a pointed shaft (dry compass) or suspended from a silk thread, etc. Consequently, they were much more useful for navigation purposes since they were much more portable.
During the Song Dynasty (960-1279) many trading ships were then able to sail as far as Saudi Arabia without getting lost. The compass was introced to the Arab world and Europe ring the Northern Song Dynasty. The spread of the compass to Europe opened the oceans of the world to travel and led to the discovery of the New World.

『伍』 中國四大發明的資料（有英文，有翻譯）

四大發明是關於中國科學技術史的一種觀點，是指中國古代對世界具有很大影響的四種發明，是古代漢族勞動人民的重要創造，一般是指造紙術、指南針、火葯及活字印刷術。

指南針：是用以判別方位的一種簡單儀器。前身是司南。主要組成部分是一根裝在軸上可以自由轉動的磁針。磁針在地磁場作用下能保持在磁子午線的切線方向上。磁針的北極指向地理的南極，利用這一性能可以辨別方向。常用於航海、大地測量、旅行及軍事等方面。指南針的N指北方，E指東方，W指西方，S指南方。

造紙術：是中國四大發明之一，人類文明史上的一項傑出的發明創造。中國是世界上最早養蠶織絲的國家。漢族勞動人民以上等蠶繭抽絲織綢，剩下的惡繭、病繭等則用漂絮法製取絲綿。漂絮完畢，篾席上會遺留一些殘絮。當漂絮的次數多了，篾席上的殘絮便積成一層纖維薄片，經晾乾之後剝離下來，可用於書寫。這種漂絮的副產物數量不多，在古書上稱它為赫蹏或方絮。這表明了中國漢族造紙術的起源同絲絮有著淵源關系。

火葯：一種黑色或棕色的炸葯，由硝酸鉀、木炭和硫磺機械混合而成，最初均製成粉末狀，以後一般製成大小不同的顆粒狀，可供不同用途之需，在採用無煙火葯以前，一直用作唯一的軍用發射葯。

印刷術：畢升曾嘗試木製活字，但木製活字一直要到元朝（1271年–1368年）王禎（活躍於1290年至1333年）的木模才趨完善。王禎亦將文字按照音韻組合置於有小隔間的轉輪排字盤以方便撿字。至於銅版活字要等到明朝（1368年-1644年）華燧（1439年至1513年）於1490年的印刷作品才趨完美。

『陸』 中國四大發明（英語）

The Four Great Inventions of ancient China are, according to Chinese tradition and the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham:

The Compass
Gunpowder
Papermaking
Printing
These inventions are celebrated in Chinese culture for their historical significance and as signs of ancient China's advanced science and technology. These four discoveries had an enormous impact on the development of Chinese civilization and a far-ranging global impact.

Although he may have been unaware of the origin of these inventions, in 1620 the English philosopher Francis Bacon noted their importance by writing:
好像對
Printing, gunpowder and the compass: These three have changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world; the first in literature, the second in warfare, the third in navigation; whence have followed innumerable changes, in so much that no empire, no sect, no star seems to have exerted greater power and influence in human affairs than these.

印刷術 Movable type the system of printing and typography that uses movable components to reproce the elements of a document (usually indivial letters or punctuation). The first known movable type system was invented in China by Bi Sheng out of ceramic between 1041 and 1048 AD. Metal movable type was first invented in Korea ring the Goryeo Dynasty (around 1230). This led to the printing of the Jikji in 1377 - today the world's oldest extant movable metal print book.
