A Study On Ecological Ethical Implication Of Taoist Thought In Pre-Qin Dynasty

The main representative figures of the pre-Qin Daoists are Laozi and Zhuangzi,and there are abundant ecological ethics thoughts in the works of the Book of Ethics and Zhuangzi.Among them,Laozi's ecological ethics thought takes "Tao law nature" as the guiding principle,advocates "inaction" ecological development view and "no desire" ecological consumption view.The so-called "Tao law nature ",that is,people follow the principle of nature,does not violate the meaning of nature,it is the guiding principle of Laozi's ecological ethics thought.Under this guiding principle,humanity must obey the heavenly way and act naturally.Develop the ecology with the attitude of "inaction ",and realize the sustainable development in the way of " no desire ".Zhuangzi The ecological ethics thought is mainly embodied in the view of equality of all things,the view of biological freedom of living things and the view of ecological development with contentment.It is believed that from the origin of all things in nature,all things in nature are equal,and man is no more noble than all things.Therefore,we should respect biological freedom and pay attention to the protection of the natural nature of all things,at the same time,we should adhere to the development principle of contentment and knowledge in the development of nature,control our own desires,and realize the harmonious symbiosis between man and nature.As the main philosopher of Spring and Autumn and Warring States period,Laozhuang's thought is centered on nature,highlighting the "noble" of nature and the simplicity of human nature,and connectinghuman nature The heart fight back to the simple state of nature.Confucianism,on the other hand,pays more attention to the subjective value of human beings,advocates the establishment of the mind for the world and emphasizes the sense of responsibility and the spirit of responsibility for the universe.In this respect,the Taoist ecological ethics thought and the Confucian ecological ethics thought form the sharp contrast,one main naturalism,one main humanism,its basic position is different.But the two theories are not completely different,diametrically different,but have their mutual exchange,which together constitute the important link of Chinese traditional ecological ethics thought.In the long river of history,the ecological ethics thought of Taoism in the pre-Qin Dynasty is old and enduring,and it is the Taoist and Taoist of the later Huang Lao Inherited and developed,even now has entered the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,its thought still radiates the time value and the modern significance,has the important thought enlightenment to the present ecological civilization construction.
