I remember that there was an article in Reading Library in issue 20 13, but I remember that it was "influenced by XXX thought", not a complete reference in the sense of scientific research and academic writing. Take a look again. During the Republic of China, Yan Fu translated the book Evolution and Ethics by the British scientist Huxley, which seems to have been mentioned when others commented.
The popular saying is that Darwin referred to Compendium of Materia Medica in the process of establishing the theory of evolution and demonstrating the principle of artificial selection, and called it "China Ancient Encyclopedia".
"Sincerely love to hear", so I suggest searching the information about the development history of ancient science and technology in China.
