Karl Linnaeus was born on 23 May 1707 in Smallland, Sweden. Karl Linnaeus is a famous Swedish naturalist and naturalist, who creatively used the "two-name nomenclature" to uniformly name plants, which is still used today, so he is known as "the founder of modern biological science classification naming". His representative works include "Natural Systems", "Plant Genesis" and "Plant Ethnography".
Born into a family of priests, Linnaeus enjoyed collecting plant specimens in the wild as a young man and developed a keen interest in botany. In 1727, Linnaeus entered the University of Uppsala in Sweden to systematically study naturalism and the methods of collecting biological specimens. In 1732, Linnaeus went on a scientific expedition to the desolate Lapland region of northern Sweden and collected many biological specimens.
In 1735 Linnaeus completed the book Natural Systems, which gave him great prestige and laid the foundation for his lifelong achievements and status. Linnaeus returned to his hometown in 1738, and from 1741 he was a professor of botany, immersed in the study of animal and plant taxonomy, and in 1753 completed the masterpiece "Plant Species".
Linnaeus died on 10 January 1778 at the age of 70. He once said that the first step in knowledge is to understand things themselves. Let us remember this great scholar.
