There are abundant scientific thought in ancient Chinese,these thoughts contained in a multitude of books.The thought of biological Biological genetic is an important part of it,and we need to dig and carry forward primely.Ancient scientific thoughts may be relatively fragmented,even one-sided understanding and not mature science knowledge,it may be only in some parts,on some level,or on the whole grasp of the later scientific theory generally and vaguely.The methods and sources may be diverse,or experience,or the theory summary,or concurrently with the two party,or purely speculative speculation and even myth hypothesis.With the rapid development of science and technology,today,we should inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional China thought in science and technology,and have a correct understanding of science and technology,and establish a scientific spirit,and take it as an integral part of the national quality.In this paper,firstly,we introduce the ancient people’s understanding of the knowledge on hereditary and variability,and the relationship between genetic variation and environment.Secondly,on the basis of the biological genetic variation,the ancients cultivated many new biological species consciously by means of manual selection,hybridization and grafting.In ancient China,we had made pioneering achievements in the production of rice,domestic goldfish,donkey-horse hybridization,silkworm hybrid,fruit grafting and other production practices.Darwin had repeatedly referred to the inspiration of Chinese classical literature.Then,the article discusses the philosophical connotation of the thought of the ancient biological heredity,such as the ancient "Qi" theory,the concept of biological evolution,the materialism thought and the natural view of biological change and connection.At last,the paper explains the modern value of the research on the thought of ancient biological heredity.
