Features: "Yi Xue and Ecological Environment" is one of the "Yi Xue Wisdom Series" organized by the Eastern International Yi Xue Research Institute. The highly valuable ecological environment ideas and perspectives embedded in Yi Xue need to be unearthed and applied to serve the reality. In the face of China's severe environmental challenges today, revisiting the ecological environment thoughts of Yi Xue makes us realize that we have failed to inherit the excellent traditional culture of ancient times 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 the current environmental deterioration are mostly due to the pursuit of economic benefits without regard for environmental consequences, which violates the ecological environment perspectives of Yi Xue.
