Value orientation decides the human being's behavior.At present,along with the deterioration of environment and recognition of ecological civilization,we should change our behaviors to mitigate the contradiction between the human beings and nature.However,if one wants to change his behavior to comply with natural laws,he should improve his ecological values first.Based on theories and methodologies of Social Sciences and Natural Science,this dissertation researches the ecological values and its effect on conducting the relationship between the human beings and nature.The main viewpoints of this dissertation are as follows:①The core connotation of ecological values from primitive civilization to ecological civilization has its outstanding characteristics,which was influenced by social and economical factors at that time.This change followed the law of "practicing,recognizing,re-practicing,re-recognizing".In China,the ecological values of nation since 1950's changed dramatically with the development of society and economy.②Fundamentally,the stereotyped values results in ecological crisis.Ecological crisis is cultural and values crisis essentially,and it resulted from stereotyped viewpoints, behavior pattern,social politics,economic and cultural mechanism.③Influence by human activities to nature are more and more intensified.The Population rose from 1 billion to 7 billion in the past 200 years,and its ability to change nature was developed rapidly.With the accumulation for a long time,contradiction between the human beings and nature is worsening.④Renovating the stereotyped notion is the basic measure to relieve ecological crisis,which can change the relationship between the human beings and nature.At present,with advocating ecological civilization,the human beings should not only solve current ecological crisis by making use of wisdom,technology and instrument,but also improve human behaviors self-consciously,and adjust the relationship between the human beings and nature,finally advance the development of ecological civilization,namely modern ecological values should be emphasized.In a word,we should recognize and normalize our basic values on relationship between the human beings and nature in such aspects as integrality of epistemology,relevance of systematology,cycling of economy,frugality of resource utilization,coordination of relationship maintenance etc.⑤The "five optimum" principles for building harmonious and ecological civilization have been presented in this dissertation.The five principles involve adapting to nature rationally,exploiting nature by adopt moderate scale and technology,promoting sustainable development of the human society by proper behavior,normalizing human's consumption activities by proper standards,following natural law and adjusting the relationship between the human beings and nature.⑥"Economy Supremeness" results in the contradiction of the economic development and ecological environment in China.In the past 30 years,the philosophy of "Economy Supremeness" has led to the contradiction of the economic development and ecological environment protection.Although we know the way that treatment will have to be conducted after pollution("first pollution then treatment") in developed countries is not advisable,however,in reality we still follow their footsteps,so serious ecological destruction and environmental pollution have resulted in China.⑦It's a long way for China to build a harmonious society with material,spiritual,political and ecological civilization although they have been presently emphasized.In order to achieve the aim that we expect strongly,we should also do more efforts in consciousness,economic development and social institutional construction.⑧Reconstructing environmental order plays an important part in the sustainable development of human society.Nowadays,the human beings should build an environmental order in accordance with the conception of coordination between the human beings and nature to foster sustainable development of human society.⑨In order to improve the human being's traditional ecological values,it is absolutely necessary to enhance environmental education.
