The Development Of Cultural Mechanism & Earth Building

The concepts such as "green life and low carbon economy" are pouncing to every corner of the earth through all kinds of dazzling media, and it means the ecological civilization movement has entered the contemporary people's life. The introduction of the concept of ecological civilization is to reflect upon the enormous harm on ecological environment by the philosophy of western civilization, and the social phenomenon alienated by the self-created material civilization under the rule of the consumer culture. The living environment and architecture are big carriers of the human civilization value system, and are also the sources of today's worsening ecological environment, so it is necessary to make a research on the old and ecological earth building. For the development of ecological construction, we should take the renewal and transformation of the values as the guide. The Chinese traditional architectural culture is actually the humanistic philosophy system developed from the protype of the earth building. This paper, beginning with the studies of the culture of mechanism, aims at tracing the earth Building's prototype, analyzing its present situation, and exploring its future development.Modern western civilization, with the basic connotation of "binary" and advocating for the tool rationality, is the reversible and determinism of linear thinking mode. Its most common techniques include caling and slicing. As a result, it seriously separate the organic connection of the development between its diachrony and synchrony. Therefore, this paper explores the comprehensive causes of the thing's existence by adopting the way of interdisiciplinary and overlapping. On the other hand, the traditional Chinese culture follows the organic development mode of uniting the technological civilization and the human spirit. But the culture, open to the time and space, constantly need to be reconstructed and enriched. Its essence lies in the constant renewal of on the significance and the endless expansion in denotation and connotation. Moreover, on the basis of the endless pioneering, the traditional Chinese culture, as a kind of open organic cultural system, still has some negative factors contrary to the development of the modern ecological civilization. So, the key words of this paper include" earth building", "the ecological value" and the "the renewal of the culture of mechanism."At the back of the living environment and architecture, there is human. They are not only the materialization of the mode of human life, but also the stretch of the meaning of human life. They consist of complicated spirit structure, including all the human life activities between people and the world, between people and people, between heart and thing, and so on. Furthermore, the traditional Chinese culture is a system of philosophy ruled by life to examine all beings, and its main part is the agricultural civilization. So, tracing the original culture of the Chinese residential environment should start from the study of the culture of life, and "life mode" is another key word in this paper. To understand the architecture and to create the living environment in life mode is the development of modern ecological architecture not only for the energy of the ecological environment but also for the omni-directional humanity care of the physical environment. Therefore, the key point of inheriting the traditional Chinese culture lies in the activation and cultivation of the effective gene needed to develop the ecological civilization beneficially, so as to renew the ancient earth building in the process of the renewal of the humanistic value.
