The Chinese dragon is a symbol of life, which reflects the sense of life and ideal of survival in ancient China; meanwhile, it is also a best wish of the endless life cycle. As another point of view, the Chinese dragon is a symbol of culture, symbolizing the national spirit and cultural idea, like a strong belt, hold together all races in Chinese traditional cultural circle. Furthermore, the Chinese dragon is a symbol of totem, in Maonan people's culture; it highlights the value of their myths, and goes with a special point of overcoming natural world. But the Chinese dragon culture of Maonan people was almost ignored in academic circle, instead of putting more effort into the research of Han people's culture.Because of the great value of Chinese dragon culture and the special position of Maonan people, this paper would try to make a research of dragon culture of Maonan people in the view of Ecoaesthetics, and divided by several levels such as archetype, type, pattern and character. It's easy to see that, the Ecoaesthetics field of animal and human survival in practice constitutes the dragon culture of Maonan people in the view of Ecoaesthetics, as the natural pattern, social pattern and aesthetic pattern.
