Chinese Plants that influence the World

"Chinese Plants that Influence the World" is a book based on the documentary of the same name, written by the documentary's creative team. The book adds rich historical contexts and more than 300 high-definition pictures on the basis of the edited explanatory notes, making it a popular science book for a general readership. With pictures and text, the book attempts to show the colorful plant landscape that has formed in China over the past 4.6 billion years. The book systematically and completely tells the stories of dozens of plants such as rice, tea, bamboo, mulberry, soybean, citrus, and azalea, and how they have shaped Chinese civilization and influenced the world. This is a homage to Chinese plants, a root-seeking journey to revisit Chinese civilization, a tribute to natural creatures, a popularization of natural knowledge for the public, and a reflection on how to balance life. Words are an enduring art, and images are a great way to support classical claims. The book captures the documentary in a rich picture and text form. This is not only a visual feast of plants, but also a soul-shaking experience that plants bring to human beings. With plants acting like a mirror, the book hopes that people will reflect on their lives with them.
