Natural history is closely linked to the livelihood of the people. Development level of natural history in a society can be inferred from the colorfulness in its daily language. Highly developed natural history could also be one of the reasons why the Chinese civilization, among others, lasted thousands of years uninterrupted. But in all existing works of history, natural history, as a domain of inquiry, was not singled out as it should be. Why, with all the books on scientific or general history, has not natural history in ancient China been proudly mentioned? The reason, more or less, is that it is not significant enough according to some standards. It is safe to say that ancient China did not lack its share of excellent works of natural history. We can easily provide many examples. Those books involve disciplines including geography, astronomy, Chinese medicine, and botany. In this book, a selected few are discussed.
