Scholars have different views, or focus on the nature of human in terms of nature properties and social attributes, or struggle with the ethics of properties on evil human nature and virtuous human nature, or use as philosophical inquiry to talk about nature and sense.Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature inherited Kongzi, Mengzi and Xunzi, opened the researches of the Han Dynasty and played an important role in the history of the development of human nature in China.Dong Zhongshu invoked the heaven to talk about the personnel, he explained the humanity within the framework of "the heaven is kindness",realized the true penetration between the heaven and the good and evil of human nature.Dong Zhongshu used the gas of Yin and Yang as the reality mediation of the human nature given by the heaven,made it a carrier to pass on the moral attributes,made the gas of Yin and Yang as the material of nature gives the moral attribute to the man while in the composition of human material, and achieved the hook of the heaven and nature through the gas of Yin and yang.Dong Zhongshu opened up a precedent for the discussion of human nature with Yin and yang.Dong Zhongshu quoted the "emotion" into "nature", put the nature and emotion of human into the philosophy of heaven and man,proposed four theories of human nature: "Nature is kindness, emotion is evil", "human nature born by heaven has the tip of kindness,but it is not being equal to kindness", "humanity needs education then become good" and the the fledgling "nature has three levels" from the perspective of social politics,initially solved the legacy issues from the theory of human nature of Mengzi and Xunzi,and provided a theoretical basis for the king of instruction.What exactly is Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature? This issue has been a hot topic in academic circles,and the scholars bear different views towards this.Some people think that Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature is "nature has three levels",Some people think it is closer to Meng Zi's theory of "nature is good",Some people think that run parallel with Xunzi,and Some scholars also believe that the theory of Dong Zhongshu's human nature is "there is good and evil in the nature", "nature is not good t", "nature has four levels" and "nature is naive" and so on.The academic progress thanks to the discussion and debate,But the former research is only on Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature,but the author believes that Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature must be placed in Heaven and man system in order to be accurately interpreted.in addition,The problem of human nature can not be separated from the specific historical environment especially the ethical attributes of human nature,depart from the specific environment and talk about good and evil easily become a rootless tree. Based on reading a large number of documents, the author puts forward that Dong Zhongshu's theory of human nature is actually an environmental human nature.The author thinks that the good and evil of human nature is influenced by innate quality and acquired environment.Innate quality is the human genetic and endowment, and acquired environment is the internal environment and external environment.Internal environment mainly refers to the spiritual environment and External environment mainly refers to the individual living environment including natural environment, family environment, social environment and human environment.So the human nature of good and evil will inevitably be affected by the environment,Therefore, this paper puts forward the theory of environmental human nature.Dong Zhongshu believes that the "The nature of ordinary people" in good or evil tend to depend on the social environment,"Ordinary people" tend to be good in environmental education,In fact, this is the theory of environmental human nature.The theory of environmental human nature puts forward some theoretical problems of the traditional theory of human nature,For example, the different perspectives of human nature and the contradiction problem before and after which traditional scholars probe into the problem of human nature and so on.
