中国古代的生态平衡和生态循环思想

The Thoughts of Ecological Balance and Ecological Recycle in Ancient China

作为一门学科,生态学起源于西方,但是,在中国源远流长、博大精深的传统文化里,却有着比西方更加丰富多彩、深刻独到的生态思想和生态观念。仅仅从生态平衡和生态循环的角度,就梳理和总结出了四种中国古代的生态平衡和生态循环的思想和观念:人天并立,互有其位;和实生物,同则不继;负阴抱阳,刚柔得适;执两用中,中正平衡。随着当代社会生活一系列指标向生态学方向转变,中国传统文化中的生态学思想完全可以为这样的转向提供理论支撑,并将与现代学术一起把绿色生态作为物质文明和精神文明建设的最高追求,作为经济社会可持续发展的不竭源泉和永久动力。

Ecology, as a branch of sciences, is originated from the western world; however, ecological thoughts and concepts richer and more piercing than those in the west can be found in century - old and profound traditional Chinese culture. This paper sums up four thoughts and concepts regarding ecological balance and recycle in ancient China. More and more evaluation made in the current society of China is based on ecological consideration and ecological thoughts in ancient China can be used to account for such consideration. Finally, the paper believes that ancient eco- logical thoughts, together with modem academic research, will make ＂green ecology＂ the ultimate goal of both material ahd spiritual civilization and motivation of the sustainable development of the economy and society.
