《群芳谱》是明代王象晋编撰的一部关于栽培植物的农学著作,书中总结了以往的农业科技知识,体现了中国传统农业思想,丰富了农业生产技术,具有极高的农学价值。同时,《群芳谱》作为一本农书,不仅在农学史上熠熠生辉,由于其书中对诗词丽藻的引用,在文学上也占有一席之地。王象晋在《群芳谱》蔬谱两卷中仅诗就引用了79首,这些引诗体现出蔬菜的各方面的特点,证明了蔬菜不仅能食、能用,还有观赏怡情等多种价值。农书引诗是一种开创性的探索,它在农学及文学上都有极高的研究价值和意义。

As a reference book, Qun Fang Pu is not only significant in agricultural history, but also invaluable in literature owing to its flowery quotation of poems. In the two volumes about vegetables, Wang Xiangjin quoted 79 poems, which presented the features of vegetables both in shapes and functions, suggesting that vegetables were edible, usable and pleasant to the eyes.
