On China's traditional philosophy's understanding of the relationship between man and nature

In western traditional philosophy, the understanding of the relationship between man and nature is basically based on the opposition between man and nature. They often treat, understand and know nature with utilitarian eyes. The view of nature in China's traditional philosophy is based on the unity of man and nature.

It can be seen that there are three different theories about the relationship between heaven and man in China's ancient philosophy, which are centered on Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Although Confucianism and Taoism have different views on what heaven is and what human nature is, their ways of thinking to communicate the relationship between heaven and human nature are basically the same. Buddhism not only puts forward the theory of heaven and human nature different from Confucianism and Taoism, but also puts forward a strange way of thinking different from Confucianism and Taoism.

Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties tried to enrich the Buddhist thoughts on heaven and human nature into the Confucian system on the basis of the traditional way of thinking that heaven and man are connected, but it also led to a one-sided understanding of heaven and human nature. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that Wang Fuzhi and other talents had a dialectical understanding of the relationship between heaven and man on the basis of the traditional way of thinking.
