The ecological ethics of traditional culture is explored to draw lessons for the design ofthe perspectives of construction in forest culture. The history of cultural foundation and culturaldevelopment, centered on the liberation and development of human and nature and itsinterrelations, remained unchanged. The win-win target between sustainable existence, liberation,overall development of human beings and sustainable existence, diversity and highly developmentof nature has always been the unflagging pursuit which human beings are aiming for. Therefore,the sources of ecological ethics on forest culture, the features of forest culture and substance hasbeen detailed in the chapter.Thirdly, as we know, forest culture has not only the thought origin of traditional ecologicalethics, but also the real practice in social productivities, hence the multiracial forest culture inGuizhou rural areas, the tea culture and bamboo culture which have close relations with folkproduction and living have been fully investigated. It is found that forest culture has not only thereal remaining about production activities, but also the main participations involved are multiple,in addition to governments, markets and beneficiary masses that share forest ecological interests,economic interests and social interests.Fourthly, culture has been formed through human’s difficult social practice, the formation of forest culture has been zigzagged in China forest development.

The analysis of forestry data (from year2000to2011) shows that the social value throughopportunity by forestry is increasing, while the overall employments in the years are decreasing,and that social recreation value through forestry and total number of travelers through park forestis on the rise, and that the social value of forest culture is on the rise. Therefore, the constructionof forest culture should orient on the forest social value, work towards the livelihood of forest.Hence, the construction of forest culture should meet people’s various demands in employment,recreation and human consumptions.Conclusively, related countermeasures and suggestions on the construction of forest culturehave been proposed in the final chapter. The establishment of forest culture should strengthen thedesign of perspectives of construction and inherit fine tradition of forest culture. More sides ofparticipation should be involved in the construction of forest culture. The top-level design shouldbe combined with the community participation. The rationality of folk forest culture should beconsidered in choosing ways of construction, and reconsidered the so-called modernization ormodern civilization.
