Why didn't our ancient mathematics, science and technology in China spread all over the world?

China is rich in traditional culture, and the people of China have invented many great inventions with their own hands, including China's mathematics, science and technology and so on. Unfortunately, China's inventions did not spread all over the world, which promoted the better development of human civilization. Next, Bian Xiao will tell you why China's invention didn't spread all over the world.

First, since ancient times, China has been dominated by small-scale peasant economy, while European and American countries have been dominated by industry and commerce. The small-scale peasant economy has bound people's actions and bound people to the land. The small-scale peasant economy needs a relatively stable environment. In order to better increase the grain output, everyone is only willing to promote scientific and technological inventions related to farming techniques, such as the most primitive farm tools in China. However, European industry and commerce are dominated by maritime trade. Later, after ideological liberation, the European people broke through the shackles of thought and industry and commerce began to develop rapidly. After the European market was satisfied, many businessmen turned their eyes to foreign countries, and the ensuing ocean exploration made the world a whole. In the process of sailing and exploring, Europe brought not only their goods to the world, but also European culture and technology. Businessmen constantly accumulated experience and constantly reformed and innovated.

China is a traditional feudal political system, which demands obedience from the lower classes, thus constraining their thoughts. The people are unwilling to reform and create, and all their strength depends on top leaders. Europe has been advocating freedom since ancient times, and various ideological emancipation movements have exposed them to more new things, and they are willing to reform in order to better improve their quality of life.

In ancient China, due to the influence of system and ideology, China's inventions could not spread all over the world, providing China's strength for the development of the world. But now we have changed our closed-door thinking and accepted excellent foreign cultures with an open and free attitude.
