Features: The book "Systems Science" fully affirms Mr. Qian Xuesen's contributions to the development of systems science in China and also summarizes the achievements in the field of Chinese systems research. In the theoretical research field of systems science, it is particularly noteworthy that Mr. Gu Ji-fa, based on the research of Mr. Qian Xuesen, Xu Guozhi, and others, advocates the "Physics-Logic-People (WSR) Systems Methodology." This will be a far-reaching grand synthesis, not only of plants, logic, and people, but also of Eastern and Western cultures and sciences. People are looking forward to its further development. Systemics is a young discipline. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a child learning to walk. The theoretical research of systems science began with Western scholars, but if one considers the many seeds of system theory embedded in Eastern cultural traditions, it can be expected that Eastern culture will make significant contributions to the future development of system theory and systemics. In a certain sense, systems research may bear fruit in the East.
