When we think about a renaissance period, we often think about Europe's Renaissance period, however, China underwent a rebirth period as well. This renaissance occurred in the classical ear of which seminal thinkers and technology was more advanced than the Ancient era. One reason we believe China went through a renaissance period is because China had an economic boom that influenced more trade and advanced technological ideas. Some technology that was discovered by China during this renaissance was gun powder, paper, and the iron plow. These revolutionary products increased the lifestyle of almost every citizen in China. (Gun Powder for military, Iron Plow for Farmers, Paper for everyone). The government also developed a new tax system that allowed trade to be more efficient and citizens to be more economically impacting.
I believe China had a significant renaissance such as Europe because of all of the things that I mentioned earlier. If China weren't able to somehow go through this period, China could possibly be much different and most likely less advanced than how they are today.
