During the evolution of the natural world, human has come into being. From the beginning ,mankind is the product of nature ,a part of nature. Human being must tap the nature for their survival and development. In old times, our ancestors can get along with nature having reverence in mind . Mankind quicken the pace of using nature by the time of the industrial revolutionary. Since, the 20century the predatory explotation of nature has caused serious environmental problems ,damaging the ecological balance of the natural world, which has plundged the human being into a deep crisis. In the grim reality, mankind began the reflection of the relationship between man and nature, for the protion of relationship between man and nature to a harmounious way. China is a country with an ancient civilization, the 5,000-year glorious history of brilliant civilizations, initiated by the Confucian school of thought .Confucius have had a major impact throughout the world. In seeking solutions to problems between people and nature, people with lofty ideals coincidentally set their sights on China's Confucian philosophy. China is a large developing country, faced with economic development and environmental protection tasks, we can not take the developed countries has gone through the tortuous path. We Chinese people, should be even more from the nation's traditional culture in seeking solutions to problems countermeasures, from the traditional culture find solutions to practical problems in the line of thought.Lenin has said: "While analysising any social concern, the requiring definitely of theory of Marxist theory,increase the question to certain historical range." Namely, when making any study on relationship between man and nature , we can not leave the historical background Analysis. Intercepting Pre-Qin of the historical stage, because the pre-Qin period is a very glorious period. Pre-Qin period is the history of our country's first unified dynasty large prior to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty period. During this period, first by Xia Shangzhou, followed by Spring and Autumn period. Xiashang Zhou is long history, with very little literature, but it is valuable. Because of this, theory have been handed down during that period is the essence of thinking, such as the Duke of Zhou's paper on "ethics Distribution days "thinking.After the late Spring and Autumn Period, in China, Confucius's idea in the history of the world have a tremendous impact on the thinkers. In the influence of Confucian thought, the Warring States period had the civilization to a very glorious period. During this period civilization had been created to such a degree,that the majority of people believed that only Tang civilization can match. The reason why the Warring States period had a brilliant civilization is the social environment. At that time, the vast land of China having many States, countries want to expand in order to survive, they must have their own road of development, thus forming the thinking of the history of China a very active time.Confucius as China's and the world's great thinker and educator, is China's ideological and cultural founder, the phrase cloud: without Zhong Ni days, such as vancomycin night. Confucius influence the Chinese people for thousands of years, which highlights the life and personality of the moral ideal .But with the nature thinking ,it seems like unknown. In fact, the Confucian concept of the natural thinking is brilliant extraordinary that it covered up by the light in the Confucian doctrine , but it has developed constantly.My paper is devided into four parts. The first part is Heaven concept in Yinzhou's period. Because of the thought of nature of the pre-Qin Confucian creating from Yinzhou period 's thinking, and the Confucian concept of the natural thinking influenced by Yinzhou 's period 's thought of "heaven", so this can be said essentially. During this period the most important thing is Duke of Zhou's "days with moral". Of course, it is also prevalent at the time. This is also the history of Chinese philosophy seeds of Harmony. The second part is the natural concept of Confucius thought, is divided into four sections. Confucius's "benevolence" theory is the core of its ideology, it is the most basic features of a comprehensive look at the problem, making it the Confucian concept of thinking of the natural basis. Section II is the natural concept of Confucius thought, focuses on "nature silent," philosophical implications, because it implements the "Heaven" from "God" to "natural" change, and with a tignt connection with "benevolence" idea . The third is from "The Analects of Confucius" to see the story in the natural concept of thinking of Confucius. Confucius is an educator, he does not like empty preaching, but be good at seizing favorable opportunities, cultivate his students. From these stories, further fullness of the Confucian concept of natural thinking. The fourth is on Confucius advocated the idea of frugality, which is the natural concept of thinking of the inevitable development. The third part is Mencius, Xun Zi's natural ideological concept. Pre-Qin Confucian after Confucius to the two representatives of the natural concept of thinking together, there is a comparison meaning of itself. As the article on the "natural view" and therefore, Mencius, Xun Zi on the nature of the confrontation will not say more, that their main concept of the natural ideological different points of view. Mencius is "dedicated, intellectual, knowing days", "Harmony" theory, Xunzi is "out in heaven and manking " "Heaven two points" theory. Mencius abstract, Xunzi natural, Mencius to the "days" under the definition, Xunzi reduction of the "Heaven" features.The fourth part is to examine the significance. Section I note the pre-Qin Confucian concept of the natural thinking is a product of society at that time. Although the pre-Qin confuciusnists pointed out their focus dependtently, but with a lot of common at the same time. The first point is they are thinking of the natural concept of a comprehensive point of view; learn from their point of view, it is at the height overlooking the world in the past, it is through time and space forces. The second point is that they are all based on people, from the perspective that issue, so that their thinking is very deep, deep in the soul of human viewpoint, the request from the hearts start, there is very strong practicality. Section II is with reality, the pre-Qin specified inherit and carry forward the Confucian concept of the natural thinking to improve the relationship between man and nature, to firmly establish the concept of scientific development of guiding significance.To improve the relationship between man and nature, the key lies in the people. Pre-Qin Confucianism has provided us with good guidance. On the natural concept of pre-Qin Confucian ideology, not only can improve the relationship between man and nature, but also in-depth understanding of China's glorious and splendid culture, and enhancing national self-esteem and pride.
