China's concept of ecological civilization construction has a long history. In ancient times, China's philosophers put forward the idea of ecological civilization, such as Taoism's ideas of "harmony between man and nature" and "the world is public". The construction of ecological civilization in contemporary China is a strategic task based on a deep understanding of the importance of ecological environment to human survival and development. Ecological prosperity leads to civilization prosperity, which means that only by protecting the natural ecological environment can the sustainable development of human civilization be realized. The construction of ecological civilization requires us to adhere to green development, take the road of sustainable development, realize the coordinated development of economy, society and ecology, build beautiful China and leave a better home for future generations.
