status of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers and the research value of ecological aesthetics;secondly,it combs the important achievements of the academic circles in different stages of the study of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers and the importance and significance of the study of its ecological aesthetic consciousness;finally,on this basis,it puts forward the research significance,methods and possible innovations of the paper.The second,third and fourth parts are the main body of the thesis.This paper mainly elaborates on the object of ecological aesthetic consciousness in The Classic of Mountains and Rivers,the concrete analysis of ecological aesthetic consciousness,and the course of the formation of ecological aesthetic consciousness.The first chapter analyses the ecological aesthetic object of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers.The Classic of Mountains and Rivers is famous for its vast mountains,rivers,seas,natural scenery and fantastic mythological resources.The extremely rich ecological aesthetic resources provide fertile ground for the formation of its ecological aesthetic consciousness.First of all,the beauty of the majestic and mysterious mountains,including the general sacred mountains such as "Rocking Mountain"for the living of mountain gods and animals;also including Kunlun Mountain,the sacred mountain recognized by the Chinese nation,and has many myths,such as the highest goddess,the Queen Mother of the West;and the Mount Buzhoushan,which carries the information of ancient civilization,where many tribal wars have taken place.Secondly,the beauty of flexible and vast living water,which includes lakes,rivers,swamps,wetlands,oceans,wells and pools,reflects the thinking of primitive ancestors about living environment.Thirdly,it is the beauty of gorgeous and dazzling gold and stone,which can be divided into two categories:metallic ore and non-metallic ore.Metal ores,including gold,silver,copper,iron,tin and so on,can be used to make utensils,such as bronzes,forming a brilliant bronze culture.There are also colorful jade resources used for sacrifice,medicine,food,pigments,decoration,entertainment and architecture,which reveals a kind of original aesthetic consciousness of human beings.Then there is the magical,rich beauty of plants.There are abundant vegetation resources in Shan Hai Jing,and they are not effective.Often magical,it can be used for medical care,medical treatment or beauty decoration,and some of the trees can also play the role of "carrying the sun",reflecting human understanding and exploration of nature.Finally,the beauty of weird and strange animals,including ordinary birds,animals,insects,fish,birds,animals and unusual scales,as well as strange-looking human beings,full of mythological colors,can help ancestors predict auspicious,disaster,or invent and create,reflecting the ancestors' yearning for a better life.The second chapter mainly analyses the course of the ecological aesthetic consciousness in The Classic of Mountains and Rivers from four aspects.The first is the embryonic period,taking Pangu as an example to show the chaos of the development of aesthetic consciousness of the ancestors.Secondly,in the period of development,the ancestors'ability to recognize themselves has been constantly improved,and they have begun to understand the use of tools,showing the scientific and progressive nature of their understanding of things.Thirdly,in the conscious period,people often imagine the world in their own image after their survival is guaranteed,and many spiritual images have emerged,with strong blood and emotional color.Finally,in the mature period,people often show their awe for heaven and earth through witchcraft sacrificial activities.In the third chapter,based on the specific traditional culture of China and from the perspective of the traditional aesthetic category of"harmony between man and nature",the specific manifestations of ecological aesthetic consciousness in The Classic of Mountains and Rivers are analyzed,and the ecological aesthetic value implied therein is understood,so as to provide theoretical resources for the de-velopment of contemporary ecological aesthetics in China.For example,the ecological philosophy and ecological aesthetic ideas such as the ecological holistic view of the integration of heaven and man,the ecological equality view of denying anthropocentrism,the ecological ethics view of respecting heaven and earth,and the ecological operation view of respecting the natural law,show the ancestors'deep affection for heaven and earth,the respect for heaven and earth,the respect for etiquette,the pursuit of heaven and earth,the harmony between heaven and man,and the pursuit of harmonious homeland.In summary,through the object,course of occurrence and concrete manifestation of the ecological aesthetic consciousness in The Classic of Mountains and Rivers can be seen that the world of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers originated from the simple reality of ancient ancestors,but it is also the fantasy and sublimation of reality,the fusion of realism and romance,the fusion of rough and poetic flavor,and the collision of simplicity and passion.In The Classic of Mountains and Rivers,the ancestors paid more attention to"survival"than"life",and from"environment"to"home",which embodied the"symbiosis theory","place consciousness"and"home consciousness"emphasized by today's ecological aesthetics.It had a far-reaching impact on the literary and artistic creation of later generations,and had important significance and value for today's ecological aesthetic construction.
