About the book:
"The deeper the knowledge, the firmer the love." Whether native Beijingers or those who have lived in Beijing for many years, everyone unknowingly falls in love with Beijing's mountains and Beijing's flowers. Wherever botanists' footsteps reach, their eyes are filled with blooming mountain flowers, and with the stories behind those plants. Botanical surveys require not only a comprehensive understanding of Beijing's geography and plant overview, but also familiarity with plant names, benefits, toxicity, and even historical origins in every aspect. In this smog-shrouded imperial capital, even roadside weeds have countless stories to tell; in the cloud-and-mist-wrapped outskirts of Beijing, the plant spirits in the mountain forests are even more thought-provoking.
