论荀子的以人为本和谐生态观

Xunzi's People-Oriented Harmonious Ecological Thoughts

荀子认为:客观规律是不以人的意志为转移的,要求遵循自然规律,明于天人之分,不与天争职;人是世界上最尊贵的,是天地运行的参与者,人的职能是管理自然万物;利用自然资源要"以时禁发",讲究"天时、地利、人和"三者的有机统一;提倡物尽其用、节用御欲,主张长虑顾后而保万世,以实现人与自然的永续和谐发展。荀子的这些生态思想对当今的社会主义生态文明建设是大有裨益的。

Xunzi thought that the objective laws were independent of human beings＇ will, and human beings should obey the natural laws, understand the difference between human and heaven, and do not do the heaven＇ s job. The human being was the most honorable in the world, who was a participator of the operation of heaven and earth. Human beings＇ function and responsibility was to manage all the creatures on earth. Utilizing natural resource should obey ＂ban or harvest in suitable time＂, and the three elements that ＂heavenly time, topographical advantages, harmony of people＂ should be seen as one organic unity. In order to realize the sustainable and harmonious development of human and nature, human should let all things serve their proper purpose, live a frugal life and control his greed, and should consider his future and his children and his children＇s children. All these ecological thoughts of Xunzi are very meaningful to today＇ s construction of socialist ecological civilization.
