The natural beauty is a "dangerous area" in the aesthetic theory. In aesthetic history, many aesthetes discussed it and formed some original ideas, but they can't give us a perfect explanation because of the diversity of the natural beauty. At the same time, various genres exposed its fatal flaw at beauty of the nature and became a road-block in the road of aesthetic development.This paper, bases on the natural beauty of practical aesthetics, and wants to reflect and develop it. For the natural beauty of practical aesthetics, it exists two fatal weaknesses. First, it can't explain the natural beauty without human perfectly; second, in the rise in ecological aesthetics, whether or not human labor can produce beauty, especially the natural beauty. Although There are many shortcomings of its own, but it can not quit the stage of history. It should keep opening, and absorbs others' reasonable points about natural beauty, enrich and develop itself.First, I want to summarize the theory of natural beauty of practical aesthetics, and find that how we can develop the theory of natural beauty base on this.Second, for the development of the philosophy foundation of the practical aesthetics about natural beauty. Practical Aesthetics uses Marxist materialism as a base for its philosophical foundation considers that natural beauty originates from "the humanization of nature". It emphasize natural beauty comes from human labor, and insist on'"Anthropocentrism", but, we ignore the ideas of ecology. I want to re-interpret the Marxism's materialist from the ecological point, enriching and developing itself, and use it as a reasonable philosophical foundation. Neither Ecological Marxism nor Marxism ecology is coming from re-interpretation of Marxism's materialist. In fact, Marxist materialism itself contains certain ecological ideas, just because of times we have no more attention, until the emergence of ecology.Finally, the development of natural beauty on practical aesthetics in view of the Ecological Practice. In this passage, I compare and explain natural beauty and ecological beauty. Natural beauty and ecological beauty belong to different aesthetic categories; ecological beauty is the essential attribute of natural beauty in a certain sense. Natural beauty depends on human labor, but its production is not direct result of human labor. At the same time, production of natural beauty is also inseparable from the physical properties of nature, because that it is the material condition that natural beauty is natural beauty. On the basis of the natural beauty'creation and natural conditions, we define natural beauty in three dimensions, one, we should insist on Marxist materialistic; two, the physical properties of nature that natural beauty is natural beauty; three, Recognition of the natural essence of life.
