Ecological aesthetics, as one of the hot topics of aesthetics currently in the academic field of our country, was put forward by our scholars in 1994, and from then on, it has caused many scholars'attention and intense debate about it. Although now there are disagreements over the location of aesthetics as a subject, the ultimate goal of the aesthetic standard is to take people's real lives as starting point. Over many years, there has been much argument about the nature of Ecological aesthetics, but little attention was paid to people's living problem, which, as a matter of fact, this is an upended way. Only from reality and the fact of Chinese traditional culture, Ecological aesthetics can be made to attain breakthrough progress.From its philosophical basis, Ecological aesthetics is concerned about the heritage and integration of Chinese and western aesthetical tradition, with both innovation in discipline as well as continuity and transcendence; with regard to academic, it is consistent with the laws of human aesthetic experience; In reality it inspires people to build modern life"according to the law of beauty", showing ultimate concern to human. So, Ecological aesthetics is possible to be the conspicuous knowledge and has a broad space for development.China's Confucian thinking is profound. "Harmony between man and nature" is one of the most representative concepts of China's traditional culture with wide theoretical basis. The early scholars'ideas before Qin dynasty, although they are simple and plain, their ecological aesthetic consciousness and pity on natural lives were full of philosophy. We try to see through the Ecological aesthetic vision to review the Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, taking Jia Yi in the early first Han dynasty, DongZhongshu between the two Han dynasties and WangChong in the last years of Han dynasty as representatives. Today, analyzed from historicalism, their idea which believed human and all the things of the world as one co-existence is no doubt shining with the light of ecological aesthetic wisdom. This article goes beyond the dimensions of the relationship between man and nature, and the more crucial is that the relation between human and society, and among people is more with realistic significance and worth and the enlightenment to ecological crisis, spiritual crisis and cultural crisis, making people reflect on themselves and changing people's human spirit and status to realizing the fantastic ideal"poetic dwelling environment".
