英国学者杰克·古迪于20世纪九十年代出版的《花文化》一书，是人类花文化研究领域中具有填补空白意义的重要著作。该书运用跨文化批评的理论方法，从世界园艺史、人类学、社会学等角度论析世界各主要文化区的花卉文化，虽以“花文化”为名，实际论题却涉及社会学、人类学、历史学、经济学、植物学、园艺学、宗教学、文学、美学等。体现出百科全书式的宏大气派。古迪的研究工作采用的理论方法是跨文化的阐释与比较的立场，能够打破自我文化中心的思维定势，他在著作中指出了花文化在人类社会中的传承性、多元性和变迁性，注意从花卉文化升华到人类群体通性的理论高度，对该领域的研究大有突破。作者还用两章的篇幅，针对中国的花文化提出了许多独到的见解，从花中“四君子”入手，总结了花事在中国古代的历史传统，又从中国南方的花市说起，揭示了花对于现代中国人的意义，很值得国内学者借鉴与思索。

The Culture of Flowers was published in the 1990s by British scholar Jack Goody which has been regarded as an important work for filling gaps in the study of human floral culture. By means of cross-cultural theory, this book presented analyses on floral culture of world major civilization from the perspective of general history of agriculture, anthropology, sociology. Though the book was titled with ＂The Culture of Flowers＂, the actual themes refer to sociology, anthropology, history, economics, botany, horticulture, theology, literature, aesthetics, etc., which demonstrates an impressive encyclopedic style. Goody adopted the methodology of cross-cultural interpretation and a comparative point of view, which could help to break through the egocentrism. Meanwhile, he pointed out the heritage, diversity, and transition of floral culture in human communities, paid attention to the theoretical sublimation from the floral culture to the generality of human communities, which makes breakthrough in this field. The authors also arranged two chapters to present many specific insights about Chinese floral culture, from the ＂four gentlemen of flowers＂, he summarized the historical tradition of Chinese ancient blooming season, and revealed the meaning of flowers towards modern Chinese people by talking about the flower market in South China, which is worthwhile for domestic schola/s to learn and think.
