Botany Cross-cultural interaction; cultural influence Natural theology Transmission of ideas 19th century China Japan Lindley, John

The book Botany excerpted, compiled and translated from John Lindley's botanical book was published in the mid-nineteenth-century China, which significantly influenced the development of botany in China and Japan. The rich but overlooked thoughts of natural theology in the book Botany in the literature of botanical history should be reinterpreted in a new scientific light or historiography of science. John Lindley's book upon which Botany was based actually made no mention of theology, but the scientific culture background permeated with natural theology in Botany can be traced back to the British tradition of natural theology from the time of John Ray down to Darwin. From a more open perspective on scientific affairs, the binding of natural science with natural theology in particular or the marriage of science with value in general is a virtue or a demand instead of a shortcoming.
