Features: "Yi Xue Yu Sheng Tai" is one of the "Yi Xue Zhi Hui Cong Shu" series organized by the Dong Fang International Yi Xue Research Institute. The highly valuable ecological and environmental ideas and perspectives embedded in Yi Xue need to be unearthed and applied to reality. In the face of China's severe environmental challenges today, revisiting the ecological and environmental thoughts of Yi Xue makes one realize that we have failed to inherit our excellent traditional culture well and have lost too much. The "moderation" concept, "harmony between heaven and humanity" concept, and "great harmony" concept in Yi Xue, as well as Confucianism's "regulating and restraining at the right time" theory, are all golden rules that must not be violated. The reasons for current environmental degradation are mostly due to the pursuit of economic benefits without regard for environmental consequences, violating the ecological and environmental principles of Yi Xue. "Yi Xue Yu Sheng Tai" primarily covers three aspects: first, the ecological and environmental concepts in Yi Xue, excavating the ecological and environmental thoughts within Yi Xue. Second, the historical development of ancient Chinese ecological and environmental thoughts under the influence of Yi Xue. Third, how to draw on historical experience to manage the environment in the face of China's severe current environmental challenges. This arrangement of content aims to help readers not only understand the excellent ecological and environmental thoughts of ancient people and their historical development but also grasp the current environmental challenges and countermeasures, thereby inspiring readers to prioritize environmental protection issues and enhance their awareness of safeguarding the environment. The Earth is the only one we have, and protecting the Earth's environment is protecting ourselves. As human civilization has progressed to this stage, no one wants to destroy themselves. Therefore, please start from the smallest actions to protect our homeland, our environment, and our Earth.
