Description:

Discovery Channel brings light to the fact that important inventions like football, sailboat, rocket, compass, gun powder, printing and even Italian spaghetti --- long considered as Western technological advancements --- were actually invented by China. Waking up from centuries of self-closure, China is now trying to catch up with the West by adopting the same kind of innovative and creative traits of their ancestors --- Don't sit and take for granted China will remain a "cheap factory" or "sweatshop" for ever. Get ready to witness this in your lifetime.

That pound lock is amazing, even today's Panama Canal uses the same principle. Have to look into when/where was earliest occurence of such Canal Lock designs. No wonder Napoleon said "When China Moves, She will Move the World"

football was played during the Qin dynasty. It was played by so many people that Qin Emperor banned the game of football.
