Judging from the number of publications, the Commercial Press, CITIC Publishing Group, Peking University Press, Guangxi Normal University Press, Yilin Publishing House, life, reading, and Xinzhi Triptych Bookstore have formed the first phalanx of natural history book publishing. The share of good books is also almost a third. Among them, the performance of the Commercial Press is the most prominent, and the translations and originals are very outstanding. "There is a Tree in the North: Following the Four Seasons of Nature" and "Classical Botanical Garden: The Beauty of Grass and Trees in Traditional Culture" are the most popular among readers.
