The Ecological And Ethical Connotation And Contemporary Value Of The Natural View In Laozi

In the current severe period when the global ecological environment continues to deteriorate,China is actively seeking new theories and beneficial experiences to promote the development of ecological civilization in the new era to guide the current ecological civilization construction to ensure the smooth development of China's economic construction and the relationship between man and nature relationship improvement.With its unique ecological perspective,Laozi in traditional culture is the focus of Chinese and Western scholars who are thinking hard about changing the ecological status quo,and at the same time,it has provided profound reference for China to alleviate the ecological crisis.On this basis,we should actively explore the rich ecological ethics connotation in Laozi,so that the excellent traditional culture can exert its unique time value."Tao Fa zi ran","Natural Inaction",and "Seeing the Embrace of the Plain" are the most prominent expositions on the view of nature in Laozi.Laozi treats the entire world as an ever-circulating ecosystem,and regards this natural cyclical state of nature as the ideal development model pursued by human society,conforming to the laws of natural change,and advocating "dharma and nature." Emphasizing that the harmony between man and nature lies in following the law of natural development.Human beings should imitate the "natural" approach to everything,respect nature,do not wantonly,and practice "doing nothing." Meanwhile,maintaining the rustic nature of humanity,reducing selfish desire,cherishing and respecting life,and ultimately realizing its own value.To some extent,Laozi's view of nature is inherently consistent with the ecological values pursued by modern ecological ethics.Being kind to nature is both a respect for life and a respect for one's own moral conscience.The harmonious coexistence of man and nature is the law of peaceful evolution of nature,and also the guarantee of human survival and development.Therefore,Facing today's global ecological crisis,The rich ecological wisdom of Laozi is of great practical significance for the current ecological civilization construction,for guiding the whole society to cultivate the concept of green development,reconstructing the relationship between man and nature,and ultimately achieving the ideal state of "community of life" in which people and nature live in harmony.
