Ancient Chinese Inventions that We Still Use Today

It's amazing to see what kinds of tools that we still use today that are actually inventions from Ancient China. The ancient Chinese civilization has taught us more than we realize. Even though technology continues to evolve, some of the most commonly used tools are still irreplaceable.

The Parachute

One of the first inventions from ancient China is a parachute. According to historical documents, the first documentation of a parachute was dated back to 90 B.C. With many pilots in the air and adventure seekers who enjoy jumping out of airplanes, a parachute is more important than ever. It is widely used every day by those who spend their day in the skies. Without a parachute, many could lose their lives!

Poem:Dreams of the Night

Dreams of the Night

When I lay myself to sleep at night, 
Sometimes the questioning things that I see through the depths of my mind 
May seem just not quite right.

The faraway lands and places that I might roam, 
Or the people and strangers that I may meet, 
Sometimes some of these things can scare me 
To the very tips of my feet.

Poem: Nighttime Blues

Tonight, Lord, I say a prayer to you.
Before I lay my head down to sleep.
While I try to promise to myself,
That I dare not weep.


I pray to you, 
That you give me the strength to battle the challenges in my life. 
As you know, Lord, the pain- 
It cuts through my heart like a knife.

I pray for all of those who are in pain. 
Please let them know, Lord, 
That soon enough, they will not hurt again.
