再造植物身体:从吴其濬到胡先骕

Recreating the Plant Mechanism:From Wu Qijun to Hu Xiansu

从植物书写的角度讨论吴其濬(1789-1847)和胡先骕(1894-1968)所面对和呈现的植物身体以及背后的时代变革。认为吴其濬时代的植物身体是流动的身体,是人体的同构。但到了胡先骕时代,研究者用一整套技术手段,分离和固定植物身体,由此生产出一种普遍的植物身体。同时,由于植物和人分离,植物身体成为被操控、被改造和被利用的对象。

Plant structures in the time of Wu Qijun,a famous botanist in Qing dynasty,and Hu Xiansu,a famous botanist in modern time,plus the time transform of that period are discussed from the perspective of plant description in this article.It is believed that the plant mechanism in Wu Qijun’s era was in fluid state,which can be compared to an isomorphism of the human body;but in Hu Xianhua’s era,researchers used a whole set of technical means to separate and fix the plant mechanism,thus producing a universal plant structure.At the same time,due to the separation of plants and humans,the plant mechanism becomes the object of manipulation,transformation and utilization.
