From Bystander to Autonomy:Northwest Biological Survey Witnessed the Development of Modern Biology in China
Modern biology is one of the important disciplines that can win international reputation for modern China during the process of"Western learn-ing spreading eastward",and biological investigation is an important field that promotes the early establishment and development of the discipline.The northwest region has attracted a large number of people from both China and the West for scientific exploration due to its rich flora and fauna resources.Af-ter the Opium War,the Western people represented by David and Sowerby's reckless exploration in mainland China gradually withdrew from history with the development of China's technological strength.After the transition of the Sino Swiss Northwest Scientific Expedition,the Western Academic Expedi-tion,represented by the Chinese people,began their independent biological exploration in the northwest region.Throughout this history,it can be seen that the stage of biological exploration in Northwest China has demonstrated the characteristics of modern biological development in China,and the results of the investigation constitute an important part of modern biological development.The cultural collision and integration during the investigation process re-veal the setbacks and turning points that modern China has experienced in the field of knowledge.
