As a famous representative of philosopher,thinker and writer of the Waring States period,Chuang-Tzu freely to the form of text,with refined aesthetic feelings,to break the secular ideas for content,showing a special and colorful spiritual world to people."Tao" thought,"God" thought,"man" thought "morality" thought expounds Chuang-Tzu' s expectation of harmony,equality,desire and pursuit of all things symbiosis.The abundant ecological wisdom in Chuang-Tzu's philosophy provides an important ideological guidance and theoretical basis for solving the increasingly worsening ecological environment in China and improving the national ecological civilization.With the rapid development of China's economy,science and technology,people's demand of natural resources is increasing,and the ecological environment in China is becoming more and more serious.Avian influenza and haze now has became a national problem.How to solve it?Where is the answer?Tao Te Ching and Chuang-tzu are all very good works on ecological thoughts.Especially,Chuang-tzu contains many ecological ethics thoughts that can be learned by modem people,which were studied by many experts and scholars.Chuang-tzu's philosophy and the core ideas Lao Tzu as"Taon",but in his view of the ecological,more respect for nature,advocating equality,emphasizes the harmony between human and nature,combining with the ideas of modern ecological civilization,in-depth study of ecological ethics contained in Chuang-tzu's thought by various angles,and then provide important ideological wisdom for the construction of new ecological ethics ideas.This article is divided into four parts:In the first part of this dissertation,I analysed the emergence of Chuang-tzu's ecological ethics.Learning about Chuang-tzu's whole life from his book,as a person who lived in Warring States Period,Chuang-tzu grew up in the war and experienced the transition of social system,which had a direct impact on his creation and thought,which also reflected in his works.Then I introduced the book Chuang-tzu and analyzed the background of his ecological ethics which discussed and analyzed it from three aspects:economy,politics and culture.In the second part of this dissertation,explained the bare bones of Chuang-tzu's ecological morality.Firstly,I analyzed the origin and destination of natural things,from"the Tao begets all things are equal,the ecological equality" concept,namely "the Tao begets all things",and everything was a production,it should be the same,there is no level of hierarchy points,so there is,"no" the concept of equality.Then in the analysis of the "imitation of nature,the ecological value of nature and inaction" concept.And analysed the inaction of his idea,in which advocating nature,advocate,not for inaction,but moderate for this,and today we speak of "economical society" is consistent.Again,summed up the "two things I forgot everything in the world,the ecological aesthetics",advocating people to love nature.At last the ecological holistic view of "man and nature are integrated,everything cannot be divided" emphasized the harmony and unity of man and nature.In the third part,the characteristics and limitations of Chuang-tzu's ecological ethics are analyzed.On the characteristics of ecological ethics,from four aspects,the first was "advocating natural attitude",the next was "emphasizing the sense of equality",then was"pursuing the harmony idea",the last one was "advocating temperance idea",all of these four thoughts were summarised from the content of Chuang-tzu's ecological ethics.Of course,Chuang-tzu's ecological thought was limited.The limitation was related to the times.It can also be called the historical limitation.My dissertation summarized it from two aspects:one was the limitation of thinking,and the other was the limitation of cognition.In the last part,from the concept of natural ecological advocate Chuang-tzu with practice,I combined the ecological wisdom with Chinese contemporary that requirements of ecological civilization construction,then summarizes some feasible opinions and interpretations.There were four aspects,from analysing the reference views of Chuang-tzu was how conducive to the harmonious relationship between man and nature,the formation of human control and the thought of equality,and how to guide the modem people out the self,walk into the nature,respect for nature,hope that through the analysing and summarising of Chuang-tzu's thought,make a contribution to the combination between Chuang-tzu ecological concept and modern ecological civilization.
