Traditional Ecological Wisdom and Contemporary Chinese Poetry: Taking Yu Jian, Hua Hai and Jidi Majia as Examples

 (Abstract)

Wang Shudong

There is rich ecological wisdom in Chinese traditional culture, which still continues in contemporary Chinese ecological poetry. Yu Jian is inclined to the Taoist ecological wisdom, drawing on the Taoist ecological concept of reverence for nature and unity of all things, taking care of nature and discovering poetry. Hua Hai tends to the ecological wisdom of the unity of man and nature contained in the traditional pastoral poetry, and pursues a clear realm of the integration of subject and object. Jidi Majia accepts the traditional theory of animism of the Yi people. He realizes the inner spirituality of natural life, cherishes and protects the life.
