Analysis on the Great Divergence of Firearms Technology Between China and the West and Its Causes
As the first country to invent gunpowder and use firearms,China's firearms technology has been in the leading position in the world for a long time.However,with the spread of firearms technology to the West,the West has achieved a reverse in this process.Firearms technology is one of the im-portant manifestations of national military capability,and war is its most direct influencing factor and manifestation.The development of modem science,the establishment of scientific ideas and methods,and the occurrence of the industrial revolution have provided theoretical guidance for Western military technology,and the manufacture of firearms has achieved scale and standardization,while China lacks the cultural background and realistic conditions for breeding these,resulting in the"great divergence"of Chinese and Western firearms technology.Based on the different historical and cultural backgrounds of China and the West,discussing the differences in the development of firearms technology between China and the West from the perspectives of war,modem science and industrial revolution,can clarify the process and causes of the gradual divergence of firearms technology between China and the West,and provide a new research perspective for the historical problem of"great divergence"between China and the West.
