Abstract

First of all,Needham Problem has not mentioned the decline of ancient Chinese science and technology since a certain period,but said no momentum compared with the Western countries before the 15th century;Second,Needham Problem,will be established anyway.It is composed of two parts,side-by-side with each other,without necessarily logical links.Therefore,solving Needham Problem differs from a general proposition.From another perspective,modern science and technology have not emerged in China,and the reason lies in the nomad minority with low productivity occupied China at a crucial period of the history.Another reason is the peasant uprising Inpost Joseph Neadham Times,people should seek the conditions and laws for the development of science and technology to transcend Needham Times.
