    The Tang Dynasty also invented gunpowder, waterproofing, fireproofing, gas stoves, and air conditioning. They developed agricultural machines to speed up the processes of planting, irrigating, and harvesting crops.

      As for air conditioners, you may have mistaken basic evaporative cooling methods to modern day air conditioner units that requires electricity to power them up, id credit the British / Americans for this invention as Ancient Rome Egypt or Chinese for all their cooling methods are just nothing close to what we know today.

    Ming is quite underrated. When China invented printing press, it torpedoed their culture to completely different path. Books became more accessible everywhere and people demanded for good stories. Many ancient Chinese folklore either invented or reinvented in Ming dynasty, like Journey to the West, Naza, Romance of 3 Kingdoms, and millions other stories. Great stories created where readers loved them so much, temples were built to worship characters in the stories.

      What you don’t know is the story of slavery. The entire Mongol region was just a slave breeding ground for the empires surrounding it. Every nations around it exercised frontier slavery every year, kill off the adults, take the children for slavery and raid constantly. That’s why the tribes united. And it had to fight and conquer every nation in order to enforce its will of stopping slavery. Many Mongol enlisted to find their children and that’s why they could go and reach ends of the earth and conquer everything in its path. Not to govern, but enforce the will of eternal blue sky and stop slavery.

    "History of the Suí dinasty", chapter 84:
    The superiority of the Göktürks is in their cavalry and archers. When they are in a winning position, they advance with fury; but when danger comes, they withdraw with the speed of the wind, and disappear like lightning, without preserving order. Bows and arrows serve them as claws and fangs. Helmet and cuirass are their usual attire. Their detachments do not go in order, their camps do not stand still. They stop wherever they find grass and water; rams and horses provide food for their army. If they win, they stop and seek the wealth of the enemy; if they are defeated, they withdraw without any shame. They do not burden themselves with night duty, nor do they keep watch during the day; they do not waste their strength in building fortifications, or in storing provisions. But when Chinese soldiers go to war, they [Göktürks] behave very differently. If the Chinese enter the battle with the Göktürks, they [Chinese] rarely win. If we begin to imitate them now, if we adapt to their means, they will not be able to overcome us, and they will not attack us again.

    Initially dubbed in historical sources as the Turks of Shatuo circuit (Shatuo Tujue), occasional references to the "three tribes" of Shatuo-the Shatuo, Anqing, and Yinge-suggest the existence of multiple confederations, the Shatuo ascent coinciding with the decline of the Eastern Turks in the eighth century. Their armies were surpris ingly small relative to other minority rulers of China over the past millennium, but Shatuo warriors seemed uniquely "brave and aggressive," courage in battle buttressed by an enviable expertise in siege warfare and archery. Indeed, the arrows of a skilled bowman could pierce the shield of any foe."
