The Harmony Between Man And Nature Wi th the development of human’s productive capacity ,the relationship between man and nature is changing and the relationship between them shows a process of historical development. In accordance with the different relationship between man and nature in different historical period,personally ,I believed that man and nature live in harmony is the inevitable choice of the human lessons learned.
In the long history before the industrial revolution,man and nature maintained relatively harmonious state because of the level of production is relatively low and the human understanding of nature was limited.At that time, nature was pure field to be ploughed sown and harvested.Man respected nature and was one part of nature. As Zhuangzi said, " The nature lives with me in symbiosis, and everything is with me as a whole ",man and nature should live in harmony; For example,during the Pre-Qin period,man fell trees in accordance with the appropriate time so that wood wouldn’t be run out".The point “no tree,no coffin”had an energetic effect on protecting trees.At that time,there were fresh air ,clean water,and healthy food.People had a happy life.
After the industrial revolution,it seems that man is more powerful than nature for he can make up whatever he thinks up. He
wanted more land,then poldering came up.He wanted travelling faster,then cars were invented.He wanted flying,the planes appeared.However,it doesn’t mean that man can conquer the nature.Nature is so mysterious and powerful than man just knows a little about it. As is known to all,man cannot live without the nature that is offering man with fresh air to breath,clean water to drink and healthy food to eat.Unfortunately, as man’s desire expands,man asks for more and more from nature.As a result,the environment has been seriously polluted by chemical wastes from factories ,sewage in cities.Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Seriously,some farmland has been become sandy.Furthermore, a variety of wild animals are being hunted and killed.
Now nature has taken revenge on man.Man has been suffering from the green house effect,acid rain,the gradual depleyion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere and disease hard to cure. So man gradually realize the necessity to live harmonious with nature. Therefore, man takes some effective measures to protect nature,especially environment. Our party considers“The harmony between man and nature”as the basic characteristic of socialism and harmonious society.It shows that building a harmonious socialist society not only to correctly handle the relationships between people,
but also to correctly handle the relationship between man and nature, man and nature in harmony.To protect environment,the government of our country has also done a lot.On the one hand, much more efforts are made to put the population policy into policy,because more people means more pollution;on the other hand,those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished.We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying ourselves. We man should in accordance with the requirements of the objective, as much as possible to reduce consumption,increase efficiency, reduce damage and contamination.It is our obligatory responsibility to protect nature and maintain the balance of ecological system.
In conclusion,in my opinion the real relationship between man and nature is like fish and water,if no water,absolutely the fish couldn’t alive,however,if no fish,the water must be dead water.So, in order to have a long and better life,we human should treat nature with love and respect.We also need to protect nature and make proper use of natural resources. Only in this way,can man and nature live together with harmony .。
