The relationship between the traditional Chinese view of nature and today's ecological civilization

Dialectics of nature is a Marxist theoretical system on the general laws of nature and the development of science and technology, the general methods of human understanding and transformation of nature, and the interaction between science and technology and human society, and it is a generalization and summary of the interrelationships between human beings and nature and society with science and technology as the intermediary and means. Dialectics of nature is Marxist dialectics of nature, is an important part of Marxist theory. Dialectics of nature is a natural science, social science and thinking science intersection of philosophical nature of Marxist theory disciplines. The Marxist view of nature is an important theoretical foundation of the dialectics of nature, and among them, the systemic view of nature, the artificial view of nature and the ecological view of nature are the contemporary forms of the Marxist view of nature. Simply put, the systemic view of nature is a view on the existence and evolution of nature, the artificial view of nature is a general view on human transformation of nature, and the ecological view of nature is a general view on the dialectical relationship between human beings and ecosystems. The ecological thought of Marx and Engels is the direct theoretical source of the modern ecological view of nature. In the 19th century, the ecological environment problem of mankind was not yet as serious as now, and Marx and Engels could not carry out a specialized and systematic research on the ecological environment problem, but their theoretical system contains extremely rich and profound ecological thoughts.

Marx and Engels advocated that nature is the prerequisite and foundation for human survival and development; that the environment creates people, and people create the environment; that the productive forces of nature are the basis of the productive forces of society; and that the reform of the irrational social system is an important way of realizing the coordinated development of human beings and nature

One, human activities must follow the objective laws of nature

Ecosystems are made of Humans and other living organisms, non-living organisms and the environment in which they are located constitutes the whole, it is a self-organized open system with the characteristics of wholeness, dynamics, self-adaptation, self-organization and coordination, etc.; human beings through the observance of the principles of sustainability, ****similarity and fairness, through the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction and development of a low-carbon economy, the building of a harmonious society and the construction of an ecological civilization, prior to the coordinated development of human society and ecosystems. Coordinated development; the coordinated development of human and ecosystem should still be human as the main body, including the transformation of nature, focusing on the protection of the ecological environment and disaster prevention and mitigation; ecological nature is the unity of natural nature and artificial nature, and is the goal of the development of human civilization.

Human beings have made great progress in the process of transforming nature, which is undoubtedly attributable to the activities of human beings in consciously and systematically transforming nature. However, due to the limited cognitive ability of human beings at a certain period of history, this has resulted in the unpredictable impact of human activities on nature. In his book "Dialectics of Nature", Engels pointed out: "Let us not revel too much in the victories of our species over nature. For every such victory, nature retaliates against us. Each victory, which at first does achieve the result we expected, takes place later and later with quite different and unexpected effects, often eliminating the initial result again." Here Engels emphasizes the fact that in the past history, the excessive blindness and self-confidence of mankind's disregard for the objective laws of nature have caused serious ecological and environmental problems, which in turn have jeopardized the survival of mankind itself.
