# Talk:Wujing Zongyao

I just added the "Compass and navigation" section, and I'll be adding another section shortly about blackpowder formulas and warfare. After that, I will promote this article from stub to start class--PericlesofAthens 18:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You might wish to be aware that the text claimed to be a formula for gunpowder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chinese_Gunpowder_Formula.JPG) contains no charcoal. It appears to be from Chapter 12 of Vol 1 (Book 1). Get someone to translate the ingredients. The beeswax and yellow arsenic are cute. It is essentially an incendiary.
Charcoal is 木炭末 or just 木炭.
The formula from Chapter 11 for 毒藥煙球 does contain all the ingredients for gunpowder along with other stuff that might also render it an incendiary.
Nice to see that you guys are so careful in your references.
