An Introduction and Comment on Gao Runsheng's Erya Gu Ming Kao and His Ancient Agronomy Conception
As an agronomist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China,Gao Runsheng first put forward the idea of"ancient agronomy"and combining ancient agronomy with Western disciplines.As the first scholar to put forward"ancient agronomy"in the Re-public of China,he made a contribution in the history of agriculture.However,there is only a small amount of data in the local chronicles and small amount of historical archives of Gao Runsheng,and the research on him and his books is not that perfect.This article starts with Gao Runshengs only book Erya Gu Ming Kao,combined with relevant abstracts included in the Continuation of Complete Library of the Four Treasures,to check Gao Runsheng's aca-demic track of agronomy,in order to explore his early ancient agronomy thought of'combina-tion of Confucian Classics and agriculture,and to show Gao Runsheng's truth-seeking aca-demic spirit and open and inclusive discipline construction concept.
