老子自然之道主旨探析及其现代意义

Research into the Subject of Lao-Tzu' Tao Theory and its Modern Sense

老子自然之道认为:人是万物之一,又是"域中四大"之一;"和"不仅是事物的创生方式和自然、理想的存在、发展状态,而且是事物发展变化的根本规律;人类的活动必须效法自然界的本性和规律,表现为"无为"和"啬""俭"等行为原则。从老子之道的角度来审视人与自然的关系,可以得到如下启示:一、人与自然和谐相处、协调发展,是人类生存和发展的必由之路;二、人与自然是一个和谐统一的有机整体,维护健全的生态系统,是创造物质文明的基础和前提;三、人与自然生态是相互依存的命运关系,要求发展把经济活动与生态系统有机融合的循环经济,建设节约型社会。老子的这一思想,对于坚持科学发展现有着不容忽视的现实意义。

In view of natural Tao by Lao-Tzu,man,as one of creatures on earth,is the most intelligent of all;all things are confined to harmony;harmony is not only a natural and ideal state of things,but also the fundamental law of change and development of them;humans must act like nature,and follow its nature and law.Considering the relationship between man and nature from Lao-Tzu＇ Tao,we can get enlightenments as follows： Firstly,the construction of the mutual harmony and coordinative development between man and nature is the only way to human＇ existence and development.Secondly,man and nature should be an organic whole of harmony and unity.Through the options and constraints of mutual adaptability,while man creates his history,he is also maintaining his sound ecosystems of the earth.Thirdly,man and natural ecosystem co-exist.Only developing circular economy which organically integrates the economic activities with natural eco-system,we can get the sustainable and long-term development.The thought of Lao-Tzu is of practical significance for adherence to the scientific development concept.
