Abstract

[As many ancient nations around the world, the Chinese nation started paying attention to identifying living things, observing and studying the laws of their distribution, growth and development as well as reproduction in an early time. Meanwhile, they named and classified living things according to their various features for achieving the goal of maintaining their own survival and health care as well as creating sound living environment by making good use of living things. During the process of social development, their understanding of living things continuously deepened. They not only effectively chose those species which were appropriate to be used as food, fiber, medicine, or ornament for maintaining their own survival and development so as to avoid unnecessary harm, but created their own brilliant culture on this basis. ]
