In this article, it is argued that during the pre-historical times ecological environment exerted an great impact on the existence and development of a certain culture, the prosperity and decline of the Sanxingdui culture has a close relation to the regional ecological environment in Ancient Shu at that time; It's prosperity was owing to the benign favorable environment in Ancient Shu 'Guanghan', just as its decline was a direct result of the deterioration of the surroundings there. Furthermore, its mysterious disappearance also had a connection with the ancient global climate transform at that time.Having studied the evolution of the regional environment in Ancient Shu. a conclusion has been drawn: the tendency of the environment that happened in Ancient Shu is Similar to those in most areas of our country, climate cooling, Surroundings deteriorating. Deriving from this conclusion, we assert that the mysterious disappearance of the Sanxingdui culture result from the collaboration of both natural and social factors. Because the actions and influences on the environment of Ancient Shu by human activities reduced the capability of the ancient people there to fight against natural disasters as to add much to the effects that had dread caused by the ancient global climate changes. So combined, human activity and the global climate deterioration lead to the disappearance of the Sanxingdui culture.From this individual example of the disappearance of Sanxingdui is revealed an enlightenment: the human being should approach the relationship between nature and himself; should respect and treat it benevolently and develop an 'environment morality' attitude and an value of integration and harmonious coexistence of nature and man; should promote the conciseness of ecology of the whole nation by carrying out the stately of sustained development and focusing the greater part of his attention on "culture-environmental" conciseness.This article emphasizes the anti-ecology nature of the man-centered traditional culture. Powerful industrial culture has produced a glorious material civilization, but it's being restricted by the anti-ecology nature of the culture. In our time, we are supposed to establish an ecological culture to meet the requirements of sustained development and only by doing so can we develop continuously and construct the new dimension of human civilization-eco civilization.
