Innovations in Tang and Song Dynasties: Agriculture, Technology, and Art in Ancient China

During the Tang era, significant advancements in irrigation techniques led to the development of new rice varieties capable of thriving in poor soil. The Chinese harnessed the power of coal to produce steel and enhance ironworking. Noteworthy cultural achievements include the earliest known book printed with moveable type, known as the "Diamond Sutra," and the appreciation of landscape painting during the Song dynasty. Porcelain, often referred to as "china" in the West, became a highly sought-after product, showcasing China's contributions to art and technology.
