Why Historical Human Production-oriented Development Should Not Be Viewed as Environmental Destruction
The term"human activities"is a general expression used in academia to describe the actions of all people on Earth.Given the importance of human activities in historical research,scholars have conducted specialized and categorized studies.Many of these studies,influenced by the rise of environmental protec-tion movements,have focused on the negative impacts of historical human production-oriented develop-ment on the natural environment.As a result,they have often overlooked the role of human activities in creating material wealth for society and driving historical progress,and have even neglected China's long history of sustaining its population on its land for thousands of years,particularly blurring the relationship between the large population throughout history and the rise and fall of society.It is imperative to clarify this understanding.In 2023,the introduction of a new discipline,"Earth's livability"within the field of physical geography,timely pointed out that many disciplines should take a broader perspective,focusing on survival issues within the grand context of human origins,evolution,and development.This opens up new avenues for exploring the history of the living environments of the Chinese people.
