Because of the human major laws of nature, wanton plundering of nature, resulting in sharp drop in diversity of species and thus the survival of mankind and sustainable development pose a serious threat. Therefore, countries around the world have started to pay attention of biological diversity, and to take a series of measures to curb the extinction of biological species in order to maintain the diversity of biological species, thus contributing to the sustainability and stability of the natural ecology. In addition, globalization presents us with contemporary people into a more intense with the collision with the differences among the two-way. Is convergence or insist on diversity? For this problem, in fact, the wisdom of Confucianism gives answer:"When a man and real life,with not following the same", "Everything all-win and in health, all-win raised to become." Confucian brilliant idea of biological diversity covers social thinking and agricultural production and daily life.First, the ideological aspects of society. Confucian's wisdom of biological diversity first in response to nature, for all things respected and cherished for life. As Confucianism has long recognized the necessity and importance of the existence of biological diversity. Shi Bo who borned in Xi zhou first proposed:" When a man and real life,with not following the same"."Zhong Yong":"the natural world that only a unified environment in a multi-breeding in order to grow, and only their proper place in order to flourish. " It means the natural world has its own reason for existence and survival rights, and the existence of a thing does not affect and prejudice the existence of other things. In particular, the " Zhou Yi ":"not to lose its nature of a species so as not to harm a species" means diversity of thought. Confucianism's " harmony between the Heaven and human" and"Zhou Yi":"the theory of San-Cai", "Bao-He-Tai-He", "Qu-Cheng-Wan-Wu",Mencius" Ren-Min-Ai-Wu", Zhang Zai, " Min-Bao-Wu-Yu"; Song Confucian of" Wan-Wu-Yi-Ti" and so on, these are the thought of all human beings and nature live in harmony and love biological species.Second, the aspects of agricultural production and daily life. Far beyond the wisdom of Confucian ideas, the more important is that it also reflected in the daily life and agricultural production practices. Confucian ancestors in agricultural production practice, has recognized the existence of biological diversity, and has made full use of it in the production and daily life.This is mainly manifested as follows:First, to crops and wildlife resource protection and utilization. Confucianism advocates humans should play their initiative, reasonable, measured, and given the means to take advantage of user-friendly animal and plant resources. And the principle of "JinQiShiJin" and the princip of "WuShangYouXiao"and the princip of do not poison, do not skill "pests", it is the Confucian's wisdom embodied to ues legislation to strengthen the agricultural biodiversity conservation wisdom embodied. Second,it is good use of biological diversity to improve crop yields and effective prevention and control pests and diseases. Early Confucian practice in agricultural production, has recognized the existence of biological diversity, and in the production life of the full use of biological diversity. In the farming methods take crop rotation, intercropping, planting and breedingcombination of multi-dimensional model. In addition, the Confucian understanding of biological Allelopathy between the food chain relationships, and asked people to skillfully take advantage of this relationship to the protection of biological diversity of crops and control pests and diseases. Can be seen that Confucianism has a concept of biological diversity, but also in actual production and life is also full use of the wisdom of biological diversity. It still has a huge draw significance in today,and it worths learning and practicing for us.In short, we are worried about the convergence of industrialization and globalization brought a series of problems, why not re-look at the Confucian classics hidden in the toughness and tension of those filled with ways of thinking and living intelligence? Let us cast aside the dust of history in order to use " different things and factors combined with each other in order to generate new things ", " the natural world is the common growth phase without prejudice" and other concepts to create a " harmony between the Heaven and human", "symbiotic" to creat really a viable ecological picture.
