The process of human survival and the development, is the process that human affects and intervents the nature. Since long ago, the idea of conquering the nature and useing natural causes the people to carry on excessive mining to the nature, even became plundering, from which caused the the balance of ecosystem to be breaked and the natural order to fall into chaotic. At the same time, the waste discharged by industrial production domains and so on , has seriously disrupted the ecosystem organic circulation, intensified the ecosystem imbalance, has caused the environmental pollution, affected humanity's survival and created humanity's sustainable development to be difficult to sustain. At present,the environmental pollution and ecosystem imbalance is the major issue that are threatening the universe survival and the development. Facing the ecology crisis, the humanity must seek inevitably extricates the road, this not only is humanity's instinct makes to cause to so, also is humanity's rationality makes to cause to so. In the process of seeking the solution ecology crisis , the moral concern or morality and justice strength is integrated to the relational sequence of adjusting human and naturalin , therefore one new ethics - ecology ethics is exhaled.The construction of any kind of new theory must seek certain thought foundation and the cultural basis, top seek the cultural base of the ethical ecology theory constructs also is to seek the history development or the traditional support of the ethical ecology. It is not difficult to discover in this historical search that the China traditional culture, expecially the Taoism culture basic spirit and the value orientation, is in particular with today ethical ecology theory thought, so it is worth thoroughly excavating and researching.Discusses Taoism, naturally people will relate to the Taoism which is locally born in China, therefore first from Taoism and Taoism religion connection start, describing the development gradualness and the primary coverage of Taoism thought.

This needs us to give the realistic critique and analysis and discard the pross and select the essential, with the critique which eliminates the false and keeps the true . This part has pointed out the historical limitation of the Taoism ecology ethics thought as the Chinese agriculture civilized product, it can Favor us in to carry on the critique absorption to the traditional culture in the progess of rebiulding the contemporary ecology ethics view in the reality ,then we refine its modern value: The environmental protection consciousness of "zhichangyueming"; The ecological equilibrium consciousness of "zhiheyuechang";The moderate development principle of "zhizhibudai"; The expense idea of "zhizuburu".The place of innovation lie in pass through in the realistic society's ethical ecology with Taoism ecology wisdom essence, , thus will present its modern ecology significance. Inducing "four knowledge" principle to Taoism's ecology wisdom from the new angle , simultaneously in carrying on sustainable development and construction harmonious society's today, this article selected topic has its significant theory and the practical significance.
