Expanded Information

Ecological civilization is both related and different from material civilization and spiritual civilization. It is said that they are connected because ecological civilization contains both the content of material civilization and that of spiritual civilization: ecological civilization does not require people to treat nature passively and do nothing in front of nature, but to make use of nature positively and actively on the basis of grasping the laws of nature and transforming nature to make it serve mankind better, and it is consistent with material civilization in this respect.

And ecological civilization requires human beings to respect and care for nature, and build a better life for human beings; human beings should be conscious and self-disciplined, set up ecological concepts, and constrain their own actions, and in this respect, it is consistent with spiritual civilization, rather it is an important part of spiritual civilization in itself.

To say that they are different is to say that the content of ecological civilization can not be fully embraced by either material civilization or spiritual civilization, that is to say, ecological civilization has relative independence.

Because when the level of productivity is very low or relatively low, human beings' pursuit of material life always comes first, and the so-called "material-centeredness" is a natural concept.

With the great development of productive forces and the improvement of the material living standard of human beings, especially the environmental pollution caused by the industrial civilization, the destruction of resources, desertification, "urban diseases" and other global problems, human beings are more and more profoundly aware of the fact that the improvement of the material life is necessary, but we cannot neglect the spiritual life; the development of productive forces is necessary, but the spiritual life should not be neglected; the development of the productive forces is necessary, but the spiritual life is not neglected. The development of productive forces is necessary, but not to destroy the ecology; human beings can not just ask for nature, but must protect the ecological balance.
