Taoist Thought-View of Nature and Ecology
It includes the natural view of "Taoism is natural", the philosophical views of "heaven, earth, Taoism and nature" and so on.

The basis of Taoist thought is the natural view of "Taoism is natural". "Naturally", and the earth and the sky generally refer to everything in nature. Therefore, this sentence has two meanings. First, everything in heaven and earth has laws, that is, people and everything in nature follow the universal law, that is, "Tao"; Secondly, the nature of "Tao" is nature, and as a universal law, "Tao" is natural, evolving according to its own laws and not subject to human intervention. This sentence reveals the general law of everything-follow nature, and this law is universal and inviolable, which is the core idea of Taoist view of nature. "Tao" is an infinite noumenon that transcends time and space. It is born in all things in the world, and it is all-encompassing, omnipresent and embodied in everything. However, it is natural and inaction, and it is nothing in essence. The basic view of "Tao, Law and Nature" is to recognize the existence of objective laws, emphasize the importance of following the laws, and think that everything in the universe is in an orderly movement, and everything has its own internal basis and follows an orderly law. Philosophically, Laozi, the founder of the Taoist school, first summed up the origin of the universe with "nature": "Man, earth, heaven, heaven, Tao and nature." (Laozi) "Tao" and "nature" have the same name but different natures. Everything in the universe and human society must follow nature and take "the way of nature" as its origin. Laozi and Zhuangzi talk about nature, and the natural inevitability of things themselves is one of the meanings. Zhuangzi said: "The sky has to be high, the land has to be wide, E1 has to be done, and everything has to flourish. What is the way?" "Tao" means "the way of nature". Here, "the way of nature" restricts the inevitability of all things. The existence and development of all things depend on this inevitability, so Japan "has to". At the same time, this inevitability exists in individual things, not outside the power of things, but the nature of things is determined by their own inevitability. Therefore, "the way of nature" is actually the objective inevitability that things themselves naturally produce and change naturally. According to Laozi and Zhuangzi, everything in the world has its own qualitative stipulation, but it is different from each other. On the other hand, in addition to the particularity of things, there is also an essence that is beyond the individual nature and exists for all things, that is, the natural inevitability of things themselves, which is more abstract than the nature of individual things and determines the nature of individual things. Therefore, it is the fundamental nature of all things in the universe, human history and literature.

(2) The basic idea of Taoist thought is to explore the laws of things and the general laws of all things; Explain the general properties of things with the laws of things, and explain the fundamental properties of things with the general laws of everything; Consciously follow the laws of things, and take understanding the general laws of all things as the highest realm of life. Taoist view of nature is one of the cores of China's traditional philosophy and culture. In terms of aesthetics, Taoism advocates that Taoism is natural, so the pursuit of natural beauty has become the highest realm of China's literature and art, which makes literature and art form the aesthetic pursuit of virtual reality. Laozi and Zhuangzi's view of nature is not only an important part of Taoist school's view, but also has a far-reaching influence on the development of Confucianism and the whole philosophy of China.
