Was Pythagoras Chinese?

Unless it is a mathematics history course, I do not believe it is necessary to acknowledge any source of mathematics. I personally do not believe that knowing how the Chinese demonstrated a fundamental understanding of a theorem named after Pythagoras will affect how my understanding of said theorem. It is amazing that the Chinese were able to understand various different advanced mathematical concepts, that I will not argue against. However, my life or mathematical abilities have not changed the slightest upon reading about the many advances during the Yellow King's ruling period. If it comes to properly naming something, I do agree that they should be done correctly. Giving credit to where it is due is important, but there are times when a discovery was made by someone who also influenced other fields of academia. Euclid was not only known for Elements, but also for his work on the field of geometry as well. But this only goes back to the my initial argument that it only matters to historians who study the changes in mathematics.

I believe that even though the Chinese proved to have dabbled with the idea in which the square of 2 separate lengths added together and rooted gives the diagonal exists, the name Pythagorean Theorem should still hold. This is because, as mentioned in the reading, the Chinese rarely proved their solutions to questions. They presented something as true or false, and relied on the reader to blindly accept the material. Pythagoras was actually able to prove this theorem, and by being able to successfully argue it, I believe he deserves to have the theorem named after him. Now, I could easily be wrong about the Chinese not being able to prove it. There could definitely be uncovered or destroyed texts that would change my mind, but at the end of the day, it comes back to the question of "Does it matter?". I don't believe it does, and I'm willing to admit that.
