Talk:List of Chinese discoveries

Finite element method
I have added the finite element method to the list of modern Chinese discoveries, but I'm not sure whether it belongs here. FEM was developed in China by Feng Kang, and in the West, independently of each other but at around the same time. --jftsang 19:50, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Cultural context
See and comment here. tl;dr Absolutely, no question, improve sourcing and keep everything factual to the best knowledge of current scholarship. On the other hand, we absolutely should be (briefly) mentioning the traditional legends concerning early inventions. They're actually central to Chinese culture and shouldn't be impossible for s to get to from here. — Llywelyn II   15:04, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
