What are the specific connotations of ecological consciousness in traditional Chinese culture?

About the main connotation of Chinese traditional culture, experts, scholars and humane people have a lot of doctrines. Shandong University of Science and Technology, Department of Grammar Lu Xiuhua associate professor in his paper "on Chinese tradition and modernization", the rich connotation of traditional Chinese culture, summarized in six aspects, now recommended to you: a self-improvement of the spirit of struggle.

Chinese culture has always been concerned about the reality of life, Confucius said: "Unknown life, how to know death", and said: "Tian Xing Jian, gentleman to self-improvement". It is this philosophy of life that has nurtured the Chinese people to fight against all the hazards and injustices of nature and society. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have had the spirit of not believing in evil and not being afraid of "ghosts", emphasizing that happiness in life depends on one's own creation. To realize modernization, this spirit of self-confidence and self-respect is indispensable. Second, the concept of unity of knowledge and action. Chinese Confucianism's saying that "to do is nearer to benevolence" embodies to a certain extent the epistemological idea that "action is more important than knowledge", which is somewhat consistent with the character of practice. Practice is the source of knowledge.

To realize modernization, of course, we have to learn from foreign advanced things, but more important is our own socialist practice. Third, emphasize the spiritual life of human beings.

Traditional Chinese culture attaches great importance to people's inner cultivation and the spiritual world, and despises the greed and vulgarity of materialism. Mencius put forward the "fullness of the so-called beauty", and that "rich and noble can not be obscene, poor and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not bend", which is the fundamental requirements of the personality, this traditional virtues of the modern personality molding, is also very valuable. Fourth, the spirit of patriotism. Patriotism, is consolidated over the centuries to their own country of a deepest feelings, patriotism, is the fine tradition of our Chinese nation. As the old saying goes: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man". In today's world, only when a country embarks on modernization will it be prosperous and strong. The realization of modernization, all rely on the unity of the people of the country, *** with the struggle. Fifth, the pursuit of truth, the spirit of dedication. Traditional Chinese culture scorns the kind of fear of death, ungrateful, chasing fame and fortune of the villain.

Ancient people in the pursuit of truth, that "heard the road, the death of the night can be carried out". To proclaim "the road is long and far away, I will go up and down and seek" the spirit. This dedication to the truth, dedication to the spirit of modernization is a powerful driving force. Sixth, solidarity and mutual help, respect for the elderly and love for the young ethical norms.

The ancients said: "honor the old as we honor the old, honor the young as we honor the young." A society can only be full of warmth and harmony and bring hope and strength if it is strict in discipline, lenient in dealing with others, and forms a social atmosphere of solidarity, respect for the elderly and love for the young. The above is only a part of the essence of traditional Chinese culture, but this is enough to reflect the depth of traditional Chinese culture. Russell once said: "The strength of Chinese culture lies in a reasonable outlook on life," which is a profound understanding of Chinese culture and generalization.
