George Eliot was born in A Boli estate, Walker County of England, spending his childhood in the countryside. Thus, she has deep feelings for nature and a rich emotional experience, and her fascination for nature during childhood later became a kind of life singing from the heart. In particular, the early creation of "Mill Floss" and "Adam Bedford," painted with delicate brush a harmonious and quiet rural life of Victoria in the late nineteenth century in England and expressed her love of nature, the thought of respecting and backing to nature.In the early works of George Eliot, the aesthetic view of nature orientation from the character was embodied on the Image of the heroine Maggie Gulliver in the "Mill Floss". Maggie is the temperament of the spirit, its spirit natures from nature, reflecting the nature, is the natural emotional expression of pure goodness. Its nature is showed by the most solid virtue and the most pure joy in the pool for the distillation of the English countryside.George Eliot's moral orientation in the condensed view of nature can be expressed in one sentence: "My home is my fortress."In her youth, George Eliot refused to enter the church, and broke with the religion, for which his father refused to live with her. In 1854, she opened her cohabitation with married Lewis, her contemporaries could not accept this shock challenge to the traditional relationship, and estranged with her one after another, even her brother. In 1858, she began her literary creation with a masculine pen name George Eliot, which is a challenge to the male voice and writing space! It can be said that Eliot took a deviant and secular path against the traditional ideas. Her alienation with friends and family in real life became a pain which could not be healed. It prompted her to confront religion, marriage, and morality in Victorian England. Wanting family members to understand and returning to the family is the core of Eliot's work's moral orientation. At the same time, George Eliot has been working to build her own religious ideas.. God in her heart is one that she feels from her own perception. Her religion is one which starts from the emotion, people-oriented, with love as the core, and built on the "love". Eliot stressed that collective and individual shall be subject to others, advocating altruism ideology and calling on people to achieve social and moral progress by stimulating the moral strength and care .The paper states in three parts according to the text analysis of"Mill Floss" and "Adam Bedford". First, the "natural daughter" part analyzes the creation of the natural orientation of Eliot. Second, the "nature of the Wizard" section, analyzes the character of the aesthetic view of nature orientation. Third, "My home is my castle" part analyzes the orientation of the Moral Nature.

Elliott, singing with the soul of nature, tries to write the details of people's daily life and social customs of the characteristics of simple reproduction of the Victorian era, the traditional picture of rural life. In summary, George Eliot's quiet inner longing to pursue harmonious social atmosphere, to promote "Love Nature", "love of family," "love your neighbor" and "Love God" , marriage and moral responsibility, provide a template for the future research of Victorian social life and customs.
