Li Shanlan (1811-1882), also known as Li Xinlan, courtesy name Jingfang, art name Qiuren, and pseudonym Renshu, was a native of Haining, Zhejiang. He was a distinguished mathematician, astronomer, mechanician, and botanist in modern Chinese history.This book situates its research within the broader context of the transformation of modern Chinese culture and the development of modern science in China. Based on a detailed narrative of Li Shanlan's life, it explores his contributions to introducing modern Western science to China. It delves into the unique mindset of Li Shanlan as a "treaty-port intellectual" during the second high tide of the Eastern Transmission of Western Sciences. The book analyzes the psychological journey of traditional intellectuals undergoing transformation amidst the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. It also examines the achievements and characteristics of Li Shanlan's translation work, particularly the cultural mentality underlying his "localized rewriting" (a new concept proposed by this book). In this work, Li Shanlan's significance transcends his identity as a mathematician; he is regarded as an important figure within the framework of modern Chinese cultural and intellectual history.¿¿¿(1811-1882)¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"(¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿)¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
