I know why the Han, Tang & Song period is known to be the Golden Age of China.
Because it was necessary to get rid of the imperial exams. Too many scholars spent too much time on subjects that could not help the country. When people are starving to death and foreign armies are at the door, the old imperial exams are useless. Not only the scholars need to know the Chinese Classics, they also need to write the essays in the specific style and had excellent hand writings.
Many of these scholars had no common sense and had no ideas of how to be a good government officials or even useful human beings.Some of them had trouble to understand the meanings in the Chinese Classics because they just need to memorize them.
China-Advances in Science Astronomy: -One of the most famous was Zhang Heng who lived during the period of Han dynasty.He mapped the movements of the sun,moon and planets. Compass: -The compass first appeared during the Han dynasty(202BCE-220CE) in China.The compass was used for town planning and later,for sea voyages. Mechanical clock: -The first mechanical clock was built during the Song period(960-1279CE) by a government official named Su Song. Gunpowder: -Gunpowder was created by a scientist during the Tang dynasty(618-907CE).It is made so much fire and noise, it was excellent for frightening the enemies's horses. Paper: -The Han dynasty,the chinese learned tha art making paper from mashed-up wood such as bamboo.The chinese were able to make paper thinner,longer lasting and cheaper.

China Advances in Sciences Medicine-The ancient China had their own ways of treating illnesses,with Taoism heavily influencing their treatment methods.The Chinese believed that illnesses resulted when the naturalforces of the yin and yang of the body were unbalanced. Metallurgy-Like the ancient Indians,the ancient Chinese mastered metallurgy.They made vessels with very fine designs,tools,and weapons from bronze. Astronomy-The ancient Chinese were expert astronomers.One of the most famous was Zhang Heng,who lived during the period of the Han dynasty.He mapped themovements of the sun,moon and planets. Seismograph-Zhang Heng also invented a device for detecting earthquakes.This device was able to indicate when an earthquake had occurred and from which direction.This allowed help to be sent quickly to the affected areas.The device became known as the seismograph.The seismograph was an important invention as China had always been troubled by earthquakes.The modern electronic seismograph was gradually developed from Zhang Heng's original idea. Compass-The compass first appeared during the Han dynasty.it could have been invented by either the Chinese or the Indians,as both started using it at about the same time.The compass was used for town planning and later,for sea voyages. Mechanical clock-The first mechanical clock was built during the Song period by a government official name Su Song.The clock,which was nine metres high and driven by falling water,took eight years to build. Gunpowder-Gunpowder was created by a scientist during the Tang dynasty.At first,gunpowder was used only in fireworks.Later in the Song period,arrows were dipped in gunpowder and used with crossbow for war purposes. Paper-Chinese leant the art of making paper from mashed-up wood such as bamboo.The paper made was thick and spongy,and was used for wrapping things. Printing-The Chinese invented block printing,during the Tang dynasty.Block printing involved carving charactes on a block of wood,spreading ink over the block,and laying a sheet of paper over it to print a page. Richness of the Arts Pottery and porcelain-The people of ancient China produced pottery and porcelain of such high quality that the word'china'has been used to refer to pottery,plates and dishes. Painting-Panting in ancient China reached avery high standard during the Tang dynasty.This continued into the Song dynasty.Artists who lived during these dynasties spcialised in painting mountains,trees and rivers.These landscape paintings were heavily influenced by Taoism and Confucianism.
