Dong Zhongshu’s Thought Of "Heaven Man Induction" And Its Enlightenment To The Construction Of Ecological Civilization

The thought of "heaven man induction" is the core of the thought system of Dong Zhongshu,an outstanding representative figure of Confucianism.Dong Zhongshu,as a great Confucianism in the Han Dynasty,gathers and condenses all the traditional academic schools in the past.On this basis,Dong Zhongshu proposed the idea of "heaven man induction",which also pushed the ancient theory of heaven man induction to a new height.In order to further comply with the needs of the times,Dong Zhongshu inherited the "divine grant of monarchy"At the same time,it combines with the former Confucianism to give a special explanation to the two characters of yin and Yang,which also constitutes an important part of the thought of"heaven man induction".In the thought of "heaven man induction",we construct the personality and "heaven" to restrain and guide people’s thought and behavior,and use the content of "auspicious" and "disaster" in the thought of "heaven man induction" to restrain the king’s power too much,and realize the "benevolent government" advocated by it.Therefore,the idea of "heaven man induction" not only conforms to the social situation at that time,but also has modern significance,and plays a positive role in enlightening the modern natural ecological environment.In the modern natural ecological environment,"heaven" and "man" in the thought of "heaven" and "man" correspond to "natural ecology" and "human life"respectively,and "induction" refers to the mutual influence between human life and natural ecology.This is also consistent with the propaganda content advocated by the ecological ethics.In the 1980s,the ecological ethics thought introduced into China from the West emphasized the harmonious coexistence between human and nature,abandoned the human centered values,and paid attention to the protection of the ecological environment.Through four parts,this paper studies Dong Zhongshu’s "heaven man induction" thought and its enlightenment on ecological civilization construction:The first part is the introduction,which mainly introduces the purpose and significance of this paper,expounds the research status of this issue at home and abroad,analyzes the research ideas and methods in detail,and introduces the key points,difficulties and innovation points.The second is the formation of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "heaven and man induction",which respectively introduces the generation and development of the thought of "heaven and man induction" and the formation of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "heaven and man induction".The emergence and development of the idea of heaven and Man include the understanding of the relationship between the hundred schools of thought in the Xia,Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Spring and Autumn And Warring States Periods.The forming conditions include economic conditions,political conditions,ideological conditions and cultural conditions.The third part is the basic content and characteristics of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "the induction of heaven and man",which includes the theory of the consanguinity of heaven and man,the theory of disaster and the theory of destiny.The basic features include "the idea that heaven is supreme,the fundamental purpose of unifying the world,and the ways and methods of integrating hundreds of schools of thought".Finally,the enlightenment of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "heaven man induction" to the construction of contemporary ecological civilization is studied,in which the agreement between the thought of "heaven man induction" and ecological civilization includes respecting and conforming to nature,common ecological consciousness and moral concern,and the thought of "heaven man induction" is applicable to the construction of ecological civilization concept.The thought of "induction between man and nature" reflects the cultural elements that solve the dilemma of contemporary Chinese ecological civilization,reflects the overall thought of Chinese culture and the dialectical thinking of ancient Chinese ecological ethics,and reflects the role of technological development in the relationship between man and nature.It provides a dialectical application of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "heaven and man induction" in the new era,including fully drawing on the benefits of the thought of "heaven and man induction" and reasonably discarding the shortcomings of the thought of "heaven and man induction".The research of this paper includes the following conclusions:First,by analyzing the society,culture,politics,economy and other aspects,it is concluded that the formation of Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "heaven man induction" was formed by dong Zhongshu’s summing up the thoughts of heaven and man of various schools in the pre-Qin Period and combining with the reality of the Western Han Dynasty.Second,it is analyzed that the main content of Dong Zhongshu’s "heaven man induction" thought is that heaven and man are of the same kind and interact with each other.The king is the executor chosen by heaven,and heaven will respond to the king governing the country.Third,Dong Zhongshu’s thought of "induction between man and nature" reflects the traditional thought of Chinese culture,and fits in with the needs of contemporary ecological civilization construction,which can provide the traditional cultural and ideological foundation for contemporary ecological civilization construction.
