Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me

2024-01-30

A major strategic deployment has been made to comprehensively promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature through the construction of a beautiful China. The wisdom of Chinese philosophy represented by "heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me" has injected rich connotation into the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and also has clarified the core meaning of Chinese path to modernization in dealing with the relationship between man and nature. "Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me." From Zhuangzi's "Qi Wu Lun": "The world is no greater than the end of autumn, and Mount Tai is small; Mo Shouhu is a fallen son, and Peng Zu is young. Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me." Its meaning is: there are always things in the world that are smaller than autumn, and in this regard, autumn is also large; Although Mount Taishan is big, there is always something bigger than Mount Taishan. In this sense, Mount Taishan is also small. In the same way, a son who died young is also long-lived in the face of a shorter life; Legend has it that Peng Zu, who lived for eight hundred years, was also a premature person in the face of a longer life than him. Heaven and earth grow together with us, and there is no fundamental difference between us and the external things nurtured by heaven and earth, forming an organic and unified universe as a whole. The contrast between big and small, longevity and youth, as well as the symbiotic relationship between heaven and earth and me, and all things and me, discussed in this paragraph, are not intended to describe what our natural world is like, but rather contain traditional ecological ideas such as "unity of heaven and man" and "Dao follows nature", which inspire us to uphold the attitude of respecting, conforming to, and protecting nature, and regard humans and nature as a community of life. Chinese path to modernization is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, which is one of the distinctive features of Chinese path to modernization and also transcends the past modernization theory and practice. Throughout the history of world modernization, the destruction of the ecological environment during industrial development is a common problem. In Western thought, there exists a way of thinking that divides subject and object, with a binary opposition. It tends to exaggerate the subject status of adults, viewing nature as an object and "material" that is opposed to humans and needs to be conquered and transformed. Under this way of thinking, the relationship between humans and nature is forced to become a tense relationship between conquest and conquest, transformation and transformation, deprivation and deprivation, which deeply affects the development model of traditional modernization. This modernization model can certainly bring huge benefits in a short period of time, making people intoxicated with the victory over nature, but it has brought huge damage to nature, causing deterioration of the ecological environment, and in turn threatening the survival of all humanity and the sustainable development of civilization
