Joesph Needham of Cambridge University,who highly praised ancient Chinese science and technology and cultural achievement in his Science and Civilization in China,exerclsed an emotional influence on the educational history of Chinese science and technology,whlch has led to the exaggeration and overstatement of the fact. We should reasonably evaluate and summerize the achievements and failures in the educational history of science and technology and learn from the past experience so that we may afford beneficial reference and theoretical resources for improving our science and civilization and implementing the strategy of rejuvenating China by promoting science and education.
