Abstract

Chuang Tzu explained the relationship between man and nature in a concentrated way, and put forward a unified view of man, nature, and animals, i.e., all things, indicating his attitude toward all things. The equality of the origin of all things and of the value is the basis of Chuang Tzu’s view of equality. The ecological connotation of theory of equality includes the harmony of all things the ecological theory of equality on people and things, the harmony of right and wrong the ecological holistic view of Taoism and nature, and the harmony of life and death the view of ecological cycle on the obedience to heaven. All things are the same in origin, but different in specific forms; all things have value, but they present their value in different forms. Theory of equality shows the essence of Chuang Tzu’s ecological ethics and has enormous practical significance for the establishment of ecological civilization in China.
