On the Harmonious Relationship between Man and Nature in China Traditional Culture?

1. Man and Nature in Totem Culture

From the beginning, human beings existed as a member of nature. In the long historical period, human beings are also integrated with nature, and ancient humans know themselves in this way. Totem culture, which once existed all over the world, reflects the ancient human understanding of the relationship between man and nature by explaining the birth and origin of human beings.

Second, the twenty-four solar terms and man and nature in production activities

Twenty-four solar terms are recorded in ancient books such as Huainanzi and Zhouyi ·suan Jing, which were gradually formed by the working people in ancient China through careful observation and in-depth study of agricultural meteorological conditions closely related to agricultural production in the long years. Fundamentally speaking, the 24 solar terms are determined by the movement of the earth around the sun.

Third, man and nature in the concept of "the unity of man and nature"

When we talk about the harmonious relationship between man and nature in ancient China, we often think of China's ancient thought of "the unity of man and nature". The concept of "harmony between man and nature" belongs to Confucianism and Taoism. "Heaven" in Taoism refers to the natural heaven, but actually refers to nature and its laws.

Contemporary significance of harmony between man and nature

The harmony between people is not only the interpersonal relationship in the community, unit or other small environment; It also includes the harmonious coexistence between countries and nations. In the development of industrialization and urbanization, the harmony between man and nature has become a common concern of all mankind.

As the home of mankind, there is only one earth. However, with air pollution, river and lake pollution, marine pollution, forest vegetation reduction and other increasingly serious situations, the disaster brought by the deterioration of the natural environment to human beings is both global and closely related to everyone.

Because of this, people have to emphasize low-carbon emission reduction, and some most livable cities and cities with serious environmental pollution are often compared internationally. In other words, human beings have realized the seriousness of natural environmental problems and started to pay attention to environmental protection.
