During the era of industrial civilization which began with the first industrial revolution, the rapid development of science & technology and the productive forces greatly enhanced human ability to exploit and make use of natural resources as well as produce material wealth. However, the way of thinking of the Newton - Cartesian era lead to misunderstanding of the relationship among natural, human and society ,which took human as the main aspect unilaterally and resulted in the industrial civilization view which took human as the center and the master of nature. What's more, the corresponding concept of development, values, ethics, and consumption lead to predatory exploitation of nature and wanton destruction of the ecology in order to meet the growing human demand and eventually pushed the relationship between human and nature for to become opposed. All of this has resulted in a series of global issues such as today's ecological imbalance, population "explosion", species reduction,land desertification, depletion of water resources, the "greenhouse effect", loss of water and sand and environmental pollution as a threat to human survival and development.The Earth is the only home of human, and there is no border of ecological crisis and environmental pollution. The plight of reality and the longing for a happy life promoted human to begin to reflect on the industrial civilization to build better homes and to seek the road out of the predicament. Therefore, how to establish a correct concept of civilization, development, values, achievement, ethics and consumption, to realize the sustainable development on the basis of friendly coexistence of human -nature -society and to establish ecological civilization has become a hot issue at the turn of the century.Agriculture is the basis of our national economy and social development. However, there exist many problems which are conflicting with the status of agriculture such as the vulnerability of the agricultural economy, the comparatively low quality of the peasants, the slow growth of villagers' income and their relatively laggard lifestyle, the relatively closed and poor rural society and the lagging management, the low level of political democratization and its slow process of development, the infinity and abrupt decrease of farmland and water resources, the tremendous positive effects of pesticide and fertilizer as well as the ecological imbalance and environmental pollution. All these issues have forced "three agricultural problems" to become a common conundrum faced by the Governments.People in Hainan put forward the concept of "civilized and ecological village" and put it into practice in Wenchang City, which has evolved into a successful mode of building a harmonious socialist new rural area with Chinese characteristics. Apart from the effort of people in Wenchang city and the fine ecological environment as well as strong cultural heritage, the even more important reason why this mode is a success is building "civilized and ecological village" conforms to the development trend of social history. What's more, as a new theoretical result and intelligent choice of social civilization development in the context of the ecological crisis, it embodies the "historical inevitability". The central proposal and the theme of building a "socialist harmonious society with Chinese characteristics"and the scientific decision of building an "ecological province" in Hainan ,the ecological and cultural advantages of Wenchang City, and farmers' strong desire to pursue a happy life as well as the worldwide accumulated experiences of constructing and developing rural areas constitute the solid foundation of this "civilized and ecological village" model .Led by the government,headed by the party cadres ,supported by the government at all levels as well as overseas Chinese and various communities, by making full use of Wenchang cultural and ecological advantages and adjusting measures to their local conditions, the people of Wenchang City play the main role in efforts to build civilized and ecological village. They are successful! " Wenchang model "- to build civilized and ecological village gradually becomes a unique mode of building a new socialist countryside.there, the ecological and cultural development has been the focus, concepts are changed and ideas are innovated, a correct set of concepts of civilization, development, values, achieevements, ethics and consumption has been established, laggard attitudes and life style have been changed. " Wenchang model "is instructed by the scientific development concept, guaranteed by the democratic system of villagers' autonomy, aims at the harmonious development of the relationship between environment-human, human-human, human - society .The entry point is to change the appearance of the village and renovate their living environment.The main content is to develop economy and enrich the villagers.It's famous for its high level of ecological civilization civilized and fine village vogue.It makes overall plans and co-ordinate the interests of thelocal governments.the cadres and the villagers.After six years' effort, the construction of civilized and ecological village in Wenchang city has made progress:it develops from "spark" to "big".There have been delightful progress in the social, economic, political and cultural construction.The concept of Ecological civilizations has enjoyed popular support. The construction of ecological and cultural construction and rural ideological and political work has been greatly strengthened.

Compared to other rural social development models at home and abroad,the mode of Wenchang is characteristic of "change concepts, innovate ideas," "ecological economy growth "and " high level of civilized village vogue based on normal level of economy ".The successful experience of buliding civilized and ecological village in Wenchang indicated the following aspects: changing concepts, innovating ideas, establishing ecological civilization concept and the concept of scientific development is the core of achieving sustainable social development; Reforming the cadre system is the key to improving administrative efficiency and achieving good local governance; Adhering to the "peasants-oriented" principle is the soul of promoting the social development in rural areas; Effective ideological and political work in rural areas is the fundamental guarantee for good governance.There is a constantly perfected process of developing from birth to maturity for any new thing. As a new thing emerging in the process of building new country ,the construction of civilized ecological village is no exception. As people in Wenchang are not born to build a civilized and ecological-village. The construction of civilized and ecological village is the result of groping practice and accumulated experience. Therefore, it's inevitable that there exist some problems in the process of building a civilized and ecological village for people in Wenchang. Particularly, there may still exist many more problems and contradictions to solve to further expand and upgrades the ecological civilization. Despite the remarkable progess in the process of building civilized and ecological village which has greatly changed the appearance of Wenchang , the problem of the gap between urban and rural areas, the weak foundation of agriculture , the low level of the quality and the income of farmers ,the lagging rural development and environmental pollution still exist. What's more, these problems are more obviously baffling the building of the civilized and ecological village as well as the economic and social development . At present, people in Wenchang are faced with the issue of "how to promote the practice of building civilized and ecological village to move toward a higher stage of development". To "improve, expand and upgrade" civilized and ecological village, there exist a series of contradictions and problems to resolve. In the future process of building a civilized and ecological village, the following problems must be paid attention to.
