Some Chinese inventions and discoveries include:
*Compass: Compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to Earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer free to align itself Earth's magnetic field. The earliest Chinese compasses were probably not designed for navigation, but rather to order and harmonize their environments and buildings in accordance with the geomantic principles of FENG SHUI. These early compasses were made using lodestone, a special form of the mineral magnetite that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
*Kite:Chinese kites went further in their natural simulation by designing their kites to fly for over three days. This kites didn't represent simply an entertainment for children but they were used for such highly sophisticated purpose as military communication.
*Seismograph:The first seismograph was credited to the Royal astronomer of the late Han Dynasty.
That's the few Chinese inventions, and there are more like stirrups , practical umbrella and other.
