中国传统生态思想的发展境况与现实转换

The Development Situation and Realistic Transformation of Traditional Ecological Thought in China

面对日趋复杂的生态问题,西方所谓“主流”生态理论也尽显疲态,难有应对生态问题的“良策”,亦开不出针对生态问题立竿见影的“良方”。生态思想从来就不只限定于生态或自然本身,而是更侧重于讨论人与生态、人与自然之间的关系问题。中国古代有着极为丰富的人与自然关系的思想文化资源,古人以阴阳学说为基础,阐释人与自然二者内在关联,并以此建立了以“天人合一”为核心的生态思想,其本质在于强调人类要与自然协调、适应。人与自然和谐共生的生态理念,既植根于中华优秀传统文化沃土之中,也内嵌于全人类共同价值的逻辑链条之内,要以世界视角来审视未来发展之路,坚持人与自然和谐共生,走可持续发展之路。

In the face of increasingly complex ecological problems,the so-called“mainstream”ecological theories in the West also exhibit signs of fatigue,providing no effective solutions or immediate remedies for these issues.Ecological thought has never been limited to the ecology or nature itself,but rather,it focuses on the relationship between man and ecology and between man and nature.Since ancient times,China has had extremely rich ideological and cultural resources regarding the relationship between man and nature.Based on the theory of Yin and Yang,the ancient people expounded the inherent relationship between man and nature,and established the ecological thought with“the Unity of Heaven and Humanity”as the core.Its essence is to emphasize that humans should coordinate and adapt to nature.The ecological concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is not only rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese traditional culture,but also embedded in the logical chain of common human values.We should examine the future development from a global perspective,adhere to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature,and choose the path of sustainable development.
