老子的环境美学思想

Lao Tzu’s Environmental Aesthetics Thought

老子思想的核心是'自然',老子作为中国环境观的创始人,其环境美学思想主要有以下四个要点:一是环境观方面,阐释了以'道法自然'为哲学基础的客体自然环境;二是主张人应效法天地,追求自然而然的存在,以便统一于天地;三是生活观方面,倡导'见素抱朴'的生活方式;四是对于人类理想生活环境的构想,描绘出以'甘其食,美其服,安其居,乐其俗'为生活方式、以和谐为特点的理想国。

The core thought of Lao Tzu is'Nature'.As the creator of the Chinese environmental view,there are four main points following in his environmental aesthetic thought:Firstly,in the view of environment,he described the natural environment based on the philosophy of'The way from what is beneath abstraction'.Secondly,he advocates that man should imitate heaven and earth and pursue natural existence in order to unify them.Thirdly,in the aspect of life view,he advocates the life style of'Manifest plainness and embrace simplicity'.Finally,as for the ideal living environment of human beings,he described an ideal country characterized by a harmonious life style and harmony,which is characterized by'making people feel think their food delicious;their clothes beautiful,their dwellings places of rest;and their common ways sources of enjoyment'for the common people.
