China”s Ancient Great Thinker, Tsunzi”s Thought on Ecological Ethics

  The nuclear contents of the ecological thought of ethics are harmonious development between man and nature, which is the basic demand for constructing the harmonious society.The important ideological connotation of the idea of sustainable development is to promote harmonious development and coexistence between man and nature.The Confucianists have all along attached great importance to the relations between man and nature.Tsunzi, a master on the Confucianism, one of the most distinguished Confucianists of the pre-Qin period, made the conception of sustainable development penetrate into his ecological ethics thoughts on the basis of philosophical thinking of ”distinction between heaven and man”.He not only established ecological value of ”Nature is the true law.”, but also clearly set the ecological ethic goals of ”cross reference of human and nature” sought by human beings; He not only put forward the consciousness of ethics practice of ”Adapting the law of heaven and making use of it.”, which let nature take its course and respect natural value; but also advocate ecological moral responsibility of ”Prudently observing the ban on seasonal rules of nature”.If we hackle, inherit, comprehend, and utilize critically Tsunzi”s thought on ecological ethics, there will be some significant enlightening value for us to not only establish the theory of environmental ethics but also solve the increasing ecological crises facing humanity.
