Upper Yarra U3A Adventures in History: The China Story - Session 3

The Golden Age

We look at the story of China's Renaissance, which happened long before the one in Europe. In the alleys of Kaifeng, the world's greatest city
before the 19th century, he hears legends, samples the cuisine and explores printing. We see a huge working replica of an astronomical clock made by 'China's Leonardo da Vinci', one of the inventions that made the Song a great era of science. And at a crunch Chinese Premier League match, we learn that the Chinese even invented soccer!
