The rise of the ecological environment problem and its solution resulted in people's theoretic research and constructive activities on ecological civilization. Ecological civilization means all the positive fruits in human (communities) dealing with the relationship between human (community) and nature, as well as the relative human-human relationship through ecologicized social practice. However, the essential problem of ecological civilization construction is to rebuild the harmony between human and nature through the ecologicized transformation of the industrialized production, guided by the view of the ecological environment, so as to realize the sustained development among nature, society and human. Therefore, guided by Marxism, it is of great importance in theory and reality for setting up correct view of ecological civilization and building of ecological civilization. These rely on exploring the rise of ecological civilization, essence and the demand for development, revealing the theoretical transformation to the view of ecological environment by the rise of ecological civilization.The appearance of global environment problem is one of the greatest puzzles that human being has ever been met. The recognition and resolution to ecological problem push the rise of ecological civilization and the turning of social development. The rise of ecological civilization reflects the theoretical transformation of ecological environment view. The obvious feature is the form of ecologic view. It not only pushes the ecologicized turning of social practice, but also pushes ecologicized turning of ecological environment view that means paying attention to the turning of human and society itself to paying both human and social development and ecological environment, and shows new look and definition to the relation between man and nature. The rise of ecological civilization is a necessary option to civilization development way. It reflects the theoretical cognition to the way of resolving ecological problem. If human being wants to get rid of puzzle of ecological problem and walk on the civilization way of sustained development of nature and society, he must be the base of social civilization and transformation industrialized society from economy, society and culture. It not only points the direction for resolving ecological problem and correctly dealing with the relation between man and nature, man and man, but also points the direction for the transformation of society and civilization development. It also lays a foundation for integration of world civilization.The essence of ecological civilization is a result of ecological environment that transformed in the process of manned nature, which benefits existence and development of human being and natural evolution. The view of ecological civilization is a basic concept and cognition that is based on environment and instructs its development. The relation between man and nature is not only one of the basic relations of human society development, but also a special social area and basic contradiction relation on the birth of ecological civilization. The relation between man and nature is a practice relation in fact, and shows the course of nature manned. Here, nature has its particular meaning, namely manned nature. The manned nature is a part of nature, it comes into man's recognition and practice fields, and marked by man and becomes the direct material basis of existence and development of human society. Nowadays, cognition and practice of human being have involved each corner of earth nature. Therefore, nature is earth nature. The changes and development of relation between man and nature rely on social practice, especially the development of produce practice and shows manned course of nature. And it displays the different forms of environment results. The composing analysis of ecological civilization is an analysis to ecological environment results with different quality, interrelation and relation to other results of civilization. Although ecological civilization remains in the stage of rise and theory constructing, it has produced specific results which differ from other civilization, and has positive effect on material civilization, moral civilization and political civilization or institutional civilization. The product comes not only from protection of ecological environment, restoration of nature, development of natural resource, but also from the understanding of ecological environment law, ecological view and relevant ecological technology, and results from green industries and economy, circulation economy and corresponding law of protecting environment. The rise and development of ecological civilization depend on appearance of way of ecologicized production that is its practice base. It is related and different from industrialized way of production. In one aspect, way of ecologicized production is also a production way of mechanic and automatic production way, which relies on science and technology. It is hard to imagine that there is a more effective way of production without science and technology and without mechanic and automatic production. In another aspect, way of ecologicized production has basic difference from way of industrialized production, mainly including: purpose and value are different; different basic requirement for production activity; different requirement for development and apply of science and technology; different requirements for production and consumption. These differences show that the way of ecologicized production is a more advanced way which can promote harmonious development among human, nature and society. The eminent point is that, in the process of production and social development, nature is the base and has the priority, and natural harmony is a tenet for realizing and maintaining harmony between man and nature which makes the development of society accord with the law of ecological development.The rise of ecological civilization initially triggers the theoretic transformation of view of ecological environment. The view of ecological environment is a basic cognition of ecological environment on the basis of relation of man and nature. It includes basic cognition of human's status in nature and mutual relation with nature, and relative view of nature, value, ethics, science and technology, and social development, etc. Its positive results of recognition makes up of the basic content of ecological civilization view.The theoretical transformation of ecological environment view is influenced by the rise of ecology civilization firstly shows form and concept transformation. From a historical development and modern ecologies, ecological civilization illustrates that ecology integrity, competitive harmony, ecological balance, mutual dependence, mode of ecology-evolution and diversity of ecological environment have put effect on people's view on nature, value, ethics and social development. It promotes the theoretic transformation of ecological environment, and provides scientific base to theoretic argument on anthropocentrism and non- anthropocentrism.The concept of ecological nature is a product of the transformation of traditional nature view. It composes of one of the basic content of ecological civilization view. The view of ecological nature is one of the main forms of modern nature views. It is a new view, which bases on digging beneficial parts of traditional culture of China and the other countries, and Marxism humanized nature thought, as well as modern nature science especially ecologies, in order to overcome view of nature of mechanic determinism and resolve the contradiction between human and nature. Its basic research method is ecologies, to illustrate the complicated relation between nature, society and human being from the angle of ecological integrity; to illustrate the significance of mutual dependence between human being and nature, ecological balance and ecological diversity with the methods of systemized and non-linear research; to illustrate social practice as useful measurement of competition and harmony between human being and nature. View of ecological environment is not only a sum to the essence of nature development and general laws, but also a feature belonging man and a value care. It is a kind of dialectic nature view and humanized nature view, reflecting modern value of Marxism nature view, which is the necessity requirement and important product of the change of human's view. Therefore, it is significant for constructing ecological civilization.The value relation between human being and nature referred as an evaluation relation on the basis of cognition and practice, which has a value object, namely humanized nature, and it enlarges with the enlargement of human's cognition and practice, that is the value subject. That is to say, the value relation between human being and nature is determined not only by cognition relation between human being and nature, but also by practice relation between human being and nature. The forming of cognition relation is the subjective term for the forming of the value relation, and the practice relation is the objective term. On the factual basis, the value relation between human being and nature is embodied as the value relation between human being and ecological environment which bases on cognition-practice relation. The nature value is called ecological value either, namely, ecological environment is important of survival and development of human being. In the sphere of ecological civilization, owing to human's cognition and practice, nature and its existence have become integrity of objective and subjective existence from an early stage of pure objective existence. Therefore, as one of the basic content of ecological civilization view, the concept of view of ecologic value not only pushes forward the theoretic turning of value research, riches the content of value research, promotes people's understanding between human being and nature, but also directs people to handle the relation between human being and nature correctly.The birth and development of environment ethics is a transformation in the human ethics sphere. As one of the basic content of ecological civilization view, the view of ecological ethics is not only the ethic reflection and moral pursuit of human-nature relation, but also new requirements of human ethics, which embodies that people has ethic feeling on ecologic environment, the public interest of human being, and illustrates people's ethic potential and moral pursuit of harmony between human being and nature. All that is a surpass, and provides a ethic support for ecological civilization.The rise of ecological civilization pushes the theoretical transformation of scientific and technical concept, and it also promotes formation of the view of ecological science and technology. Though there are different views on the roles of science and technology played on the coming up and solution of ecological crisis, the solution of ecological crisis and the development of ecological civilization are dependent on the development of science and technology. Following the ecology-oriented development of science and technology, as the"first productivity", it surly will play an important role in the formation of way of ecologicized production. It acquires a kind of new and advanced productivity through improving the quality of the basic elements of productivity, optimizing the structural and organizing way of the productivity elements, and improving the technologic relations among people. It also changes the way of production of the traditional industry through the development and wide application of ecological technology. It provides technologic basis for the formation of way of ecologicized production so as to boost development of way of ecologicized production globally. At the same time, as the practicing basis of ecological civilization, the formation and development of way of ecologicized production puts up a new demand for the scientific and technological development. The general demand is that it is not only a kind of technology to acquire necessary materials efficiently, but also a kind of technology which does no public harm. It is a technology to monitor and control the whole process of the production and its effects on the environment, namely, a comprehensive and ecologicized technology to control the relationship between production and nature. Therefore, it embodies an ability not only to cultivate the nature but also develop it.With the coming up of ecological crisis and the rise of ecological civilization, the view of development shifts toward ecology, with the theory of sustainable development as its direct theoretic fruit. In China, considering the present social development, the CPC and the government not only put up the construction of ecological civilization with sustainable development at its core in time, but also the scientific concept of development with overall coordination and sustainable development at the core. It not only integrates China's social development into the whole development of the world, but also sees China's social development as a whole, and analyses the relationship and development of all the social elements and evaluates China's social development and progress with the concept of viewing situation as a whole. Its concept of coordinated development not only carries on the coordinated development theory of Marxism, but also creates ways to solve the various problems cropped up in the way of China's social development. It further puts up the concept of sustainable development on the basis of overall coordination of social development, which embodies important meanings of ecological civilization construction playing in the sustainable development of the society. It also makes the concept of scientific development more visionary in views of social progress, hence, which makes the integrated model of social development.The ecological civilization values at the realization of the sustainable development of human and society, which is on the basis of the harmonious human-nature unity. The view of ecological harmony is the fundamental view of the harmonious relationship between human and nature. The theoretic essence of the Marxism view of ecological harmony is to realize the harmony among nature, society and human in the coordinated development of the population production, material production and intellectual production. In China, the realization of human-nature harmony is one of the main content of the construction of socialist harmonious society. In the development of socialism market economy, making fully good use of the advantages of the system of socialism and overcoming the ecological problem brought by market economy are important ways to solve the present ecological problem and realize harmonious human-nature development.As the constructive activity to realize the harmonious development of human and nature, ecological civilization is not only the effective way to realize harmonious human-nature relationship and construct an ecological harmonious society, but also the basic demand of realizing the harmonious development between man and man, man and society. Therefore, we should construct the strategic choices to develop an ecological harmonious society based on the basic demands of an ecological harmonious society and China's present situation. These strategies include:"zero increase or minus increase of population"strategy; the strategy of developing a powerful nation through technology, education and people of talent; the strategy of times increase of the usage rate of resources; the investment strategies of natural resources and ecological environment. In aspect of the relationship between the ecological harmony and social harmony, ecological harmony is the natural basis of realizing social harmony which is the premise and an important social guarantee of the realization of ecological harmony. They both compose the basic content of socialist harmonious society. Therefore, it is of great theoretic and practical importance for coordinating all kinds of relations of interests between man and man and constructing ecological harmonious society to recognize correctly the relationship between partial interests and interests of the whole, harmony and competition, balance and self-interest.
