Through narrating in the light of the history of rocket development and on the basis of full and accurate historical materials; this article reveals for the first time that Zhao Shizhen; a firearms specialist of the Ming Dynasty; had invented the first generation of Chinese centre-stick-mounted rocket system even before 1598. This system is also the first of its kind in the world; which was more than 200 years earlier than the similar one of the West. In 1839; Wang Wenlan of the Qing Dynasty; who was also an expert on firearms;created the second generation of China's multiform and multifunction centre-stick-mounted rocket system; which had been mainly used as in cendiary. Wang's rocket system reached the world's advanced level at that time. During the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty; rocket research and production had been in the charge of Ding Gongchen; another firearms researcher; in Shanghai Arsenal since 1863. This marked the beginning of the mass production of rocket by machinery; and indicated that the third generation of Chinese centre-stick-mounted rocket eatered a highly developed stage and attained a very advanced level.
