Arnold Berleant, an environmental aesthetician, put forward a new aesthetic model, the so-called intervention model, in order to cope with the challenge of the environment to aesthetics, which is different from the separation model advocated by modern aesthetics. The so-called separation mode is the aesthetic mode advocated by18th century since the establishment of modern aesthetics. Its typical feature is selfless meditation. According to Kant's classic statement, this aesthetic model does not involve any utility, concept and purpose of the object, but only the pure form of the object, more specifically, the harmonious cooperation between imagination and understanding caused by the pure form of the object.
Allen Carlson, an environmental aesthetician, advocates a natural aesthetic model or a simple environmental model. Carlson's proposition is similar to that of Berliners in many aspects, but Carlson's argument is obviously more specific and detailed. Carlson opposes the popular formalism in contemporary environmental aesthetics, that is, the aesthetic of nature is mainly to appreciate the external forms such as the shape and color of natural objects. He believes that the aesthetic appreciation of nature is mainly to appreciate the manifestations of natural objects. For example, we appreciate whales, not their graceful curves, but their magnificence. Carlson further believes that in order to correctly appreciate the expressive nature of natural objects, we need to have relevant knowledge about natural objects, and we need to perceive natural objects in their correct categories. For example, we can only perceive whales in the category of mammals. We can feel its gorgeous performance. If you put it in the category of fish, it will feel awkward and terrible. So, what determines the correct category of whales is mammals rather than fish? Carlson thinks it is natural history and natural science, especially biology and ecology. The so-called "environmental geomantic omen" is the folk environmental culture with local color and national characteristics, such as the worship of heaven and earth of ethnic minorities, and the popular geomantic omen culture in Han and ethnic minority areas.
Among them, "environmental cognitive culture" and "environmental normative culture" focus on improving the level of subjective environmental awareness, while "environmental state culture" focuses on creating objective environment and improving environmental cultural conditions. "Folk environmental culture" is the most important carrier of the first three environmental cultures. These four environmental cultures constitute a cultural organism and are in a cycle. The three cultures blend, interact, closely connect, circulate and expand, forming a dynamic synthesis. Therefore, only when the three cultures develop harmoniously can environmental culture develop in a positive and benign direction, and the concept, essence and content of environmental culture can be clearly defined, thus providing a clear development direction and scientific basis for the construction of environmental culture in reality.
Inductive geography and behavioral geography are also important components of environmental culture. Inductive geography and behavioral geography were established in the early 1980s and are active in western geography. The science of studying people's reaction characteristics, formation process and their relationship to different geography is called "inductive geography", which mainly studies the inductive cognitive process of different residents to the environment, and also studies the inductive characteristics of planning decision makers and travelers living in special environments. The science of studying the behavior and decision-making of different groups and strata in different geographical environments is called "behavioral geography", which not only studies the behavior of local residents, but also pays attention to the planning behavior of decision makers, such as the location selection behavior of enterprise management. (The above and the following are quoted from Modern Feng Shui by Dong Bin, a researcher at East-West International University. )
In modern society, people pay too much attention to money and material interests, and endlessly pursue the satisfaction of material desires and the enjoyment of senses, which leads to the increasingly tense social relations and the imbalance of self-body and mind. These problems have begun to affect and threaten the further harmonious development of mankind, and people of insight in the west have also begun to pay attention to this problem and try to find a solution. They turned their eyes to the east, trying to find the perfect answer in the ancient oriental classics. In the East, ancient culture once created ancient civilization and ancient glory. Some valuable humanistic phenomena that once produced survival wisdom and influenced the customs of Chinese ancestors for thousands of years have attracted enough attention from the world. Abandoning its possible negative effects and giving it a modern explanation and play will help people better deal with themselves and the environment, and how to coordinate and interact with their physical and mental relationships. In the early 1980s, scientist Qian Xuesen said in an article about Qigong that it is not difficult to study the concept of heaven and man (referring to the knowledge of man and environment, man and the universe) in human science, and it is not difficult to learn and understand Feng Shui, so I dare not ask why in everything. Many feng shui scholars study feng shui theory, focusing on ready-made things, which can be digested when picked up and can solve hunger (benefits); But if a theory is not understood theoretically, it will go astray, and everyone will say that this is a "pseudo-theory." Some scholars even have a reluctant misinterpretation of the original text, which is lack of common sense. Dialectics of philosophy can bring about a leap in knowledge quality, so we should ask a few more questions: Why? Professor Zheng Zhongying, a philosopher of the Book of Changes, president of the International Book of Changes Society, president of eastern and western universities and professor of the University of Hawaii in the United States, has a unique understanding of the practical level of the Book of Changes.
"Obviously, scholars should not simply reject it before they have a good understanding of it, but should rationally analyze and explain it, so that its various practical applications can match and adapt to the healthy trend of modern culture, so that it can still play an active role in the modern world. Because if we can analyze and explain practical Yi-ology from a rational point of view, we can find that Feng Shui alchemy obviously contains valuable theories on the life ecology and environmental ecology of man and nature as a whole. The launching ceremony of "Environmental Culture Week" in Inner Mongolia was held in the square. Feng, Chairman of the Banner, Zhong Wula, Deputy Secretary of the Banner Committee, You Junbao, Standing Committee Member of the Banner Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Ma, Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Banner People's Congress, and Er Liantu, Deputy Banner Chief of the Banner Government, attended the launching ceremony.
Zhong Wula, deputy secretary of the Flag Committee, announced the launch of "Environmental Culture Week" at the ceremony.
At the launching ceremony, Ernye Tu, deputy government flag bearer, made a speech. He pointed out that under the background of global climate change, "low-carbon economy" and "low-carbon technology" have attracted more and more attention from all countries in the world, and it is the general trend to move towards a low-carbon era. Judging from our banner, the development of low-carbon economy is still in its infancy, and environmental governance in rural pastoral areas has just started. In addition, the scale and quantity of projects that have begun to land are large, and the environmental management is slightly lax, which may lead to a rebound in pollution. Therefore, the low-carbon industry of our flag should be planned and implemented early, and the low-carbon economy should be regarded as an important support point for leap-forward development, so as to find a breakthrough point in time. This year, China's theme in World Environment Day is "low carbon emission reduction, green life". It reflects the confidence and determination of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to promote pollution reduction and advocate green living. Therefore, starting from the actual work of welcoming Daqing, promoting development and protecting people's livelihood, our banner should conscientiously implement the spirit of the State Council video conference on energy conservation and emission reduction, combine this theme activity, thoroughly study and practice the Scientific Outlook on Development activity, carry out the "striving for excellence" activity, focus on the preliminary work of coalbed methane exploration and development, wind power and other projects, promote the construction of clean coal-fired power bases, increase the proportion of clean energy in the consumption structure, and guide and encourage the majority of rural and pastoral residents to vigorously develop household biogas to create a low-carbon economy. At the same time, actively accelerate the pace of environmental protection construction in urban and rural areas, take the strategy of "ecological flag building" proposed by the flag committee and the government as the theoretical guidance, contribute to the general trend of green development, further enhance the brand influence of "China Green Famous Flag" in Hubei Qianqi, and greet the 30th anniversary of flag building with practical actions.
At the launching ceremony, Banner Education Bureau commended 55 "small environmental protection guards" such as114 "green class collectives" and Siqing in Eqianqi Middle School. Also held the participants and the majority of young people to "protect the environment, start from me" commitment signature activities. The environment is a subtle "spring rain", and the educational environment is a "wetland" that produces a quiet effect.
From the "golden apple" sculpture to the "humanity" of the overall environment, Jianping aims to make every wall "talk" and make every corner filled with the fragrance of education.
Jianping pursues the harmony between material environment and spiritual environment, and the optimization of natural environment and teaching environment. In the environment of spring breeze, let teachers and students get material pleasure and spiritual ambition.
The precious picture of environmental culture "Tianchi"
Adapting to the beautiful environment, Jianping's three-dimensional propaganda network across time and space has become the "Tianchi" of environmental culture.
Walking into the campus, two large electronic display screens are particularly eye-catching, scrolling the achievements, honors and aphorisms recommended by students every day; The two publicity windows in the school are updated once a month to reflect major national current events and campus hotspots in time. Shaanxi Women's Federation, Provincial Civilization Office and Provincial Education Department jointly launched "Family Guarding Action for Purifying Social and Cultural Environment" in An. Liu Lige, Chairman of Shaanxi Women's Federation, Shen Kali, Director of the Provincial Spiritual Civilization Office, and Wang Haibo, Deputy Inspector of the Provincial Education Department attended the event and made speeches. Representatives of parents and children in Aichi Middle School issued an initiative to parents and children in the whole province: to be advocates, participants and supervisors of "Family Guarding Action", to optimize the family environment for the healthy growth of minors, and to promote the formation of healthy and good social customs.
"Family Guarding Action" consists of four major actions: reporting supervision action, family education guidance action, social practice action and public opinion propaganda action. The theme is to create a civilized and healthy network culture environment, the core is to serve parents and minors, the feature is the independent participation of family members, and the goal is to protect the physical and mental health of minors and promote their healthy growth. Call on families and minors to consciously resist obscene, pornographic and harmful information on the internet and mobile media, purify the social and cultural environment, and promote the health of minors. In the 20th century, mankind created unprecedented material wealth, accelerated the development of industrial civilization, and also brought global environmental pollution and ecological crisis. Because all kinds of pollution are basically free from geographical restrictions, and the current environmental protection and governance are relatively backward, the environment for human survival is deteriorating. Air pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution, pesticides and other industrial chemicals all pose a great threat to human survival, development and health. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, 25% of diseases and deaths in the world are caused by environmental factors, and 75% of the 49 million people who die every year in the world are caused by environmental deterioration.
China Association for the Promotion of Environmental Culture and Lunjia Company deeply reflected on the real environmental crisis facing the world and China, and jointly launched this large-scale public welfare activity of "Environmental Friendly and Healthy Community Tour for Human Beings", aiming at popularizing the knowledge of environmental protection, enhancing the public's awareness of environmental protection, advocating ecological ethics and spreading environmental culture. At the same time, they called on more government agencies, enterprises and people to unite and make contributions to the ecological environment protection in China.
China Association for the Promotion of Environmental Culture is the only national association in the field of environmental culture in China. With the aim of "promoting and spreading environmental culture", we will carry out research on environmental culture theory and ecological civilization theory, edit and publish environmental protection magazines, manage environmental public welfare websites, undertake social public welfare activities such as environmental awards, exhibitions and spiritual civilization construction of the State Environmental Protection Administration and the environmental protection system, and carry out international exchanges and cooperation in the field of environmental culture. Pan Yue, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Bureau, is also the president of the Association for the Promotion of Environmental Protection. He has written a large number of books on environmental culture, which has made great contributions to spreading environmental culture and advocating ecological civilization. He constantly preached and spread on various occasions: "Environmental protection comes from the public, and the ultimate driving force for the development of environmental culture must also come from the public. It is my unshakable purpose to promote ecological civilization, spread environmental culture and continuously expand the mass participation base of environmental protection! "
