Which invention of the tang and song dynasties do you think was most important?
Well I think the most important invention that the Chinese have made was the Printing Process because we wouldn't have computers that have Microsoft Word, or we maybe wouldn't have computers at all!
I'm not sure if this question is asking if what was the most important invention that both the Tang and Song dynasties.
I think the most important invention the Tang dynasty has made was the great poems because they were about celebrating beauty of nature, the thrill of seasons changing, the joy of having a good friend, expressed sadness for the shortness of life and mourned the cruelty of friends parting.
I think the most important invention in the Song dynasty was their paintings because they didn't try to make the exact pictures of landscapes they were painting. Instead they wished to portray the "idea" of the mountains, lakes, and other features of their landscapes. They also left empty spaces in their paintings on purpose. That is because the Daoist believed that a person cannot know the whole truth about something.
This is what I think was the most important inventions in the Tang and Song dynasties, but you may not.
I hope this answer helps you!!

Chinese writing are written in characters. The characters were originally pictures of animals, people that is naked, and many other things. Jiaguwen, or Oracle Bone Script was the earliest form of Chinese writing, used in the Shang Dynasty. The 'Oracle Bones' were normally turtle shells or animal bones. Sometimes, the oracle bones were called 'Dragon bones'.
The oracle bones were used for talking to the gods. Someone would right a question on the oracle bone, and then they'd put a hot rod to crack the bone. Last, royal priests would interpret the cracks.
