Foundation of"Tao"Theory of Taoist Ecological Philosophy
"Tao"theory is the theoretical basis of Taoist ecological philosophy.With the expression"the similarity between water and Tao",Taoism completed the construction and transmission of the concept of"Tao"through the observation and thinking of water and the meaning of water in human existence,which reads the origin of all things from the connection with nature.The thinking of seeking the origin of all things and the law of survival reflects the basic spirit of ecological philosophy that pays attention to the integrity and relevance of man and nature.Then,Taoism confirms the homology between man and nature with"Tao produces all things",and refers to the"natural"order of natural ecology,social ecology and individual ecology with"Tao follows the law of nature"to grow ecological wisdom based on the symbiosis of man and nature and the pursuit of"nature"harmony.
