The beginning of the lecture，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan raised the most fundamental question in ecological aesthetics research: What is the theoretical basis of ecological aesthetics？In other words，What is the basis of ecocriticism？This is the starting point for the lecture，Firstly, the ecological philosophy is mainly described from the perspective of traditional Chinese philosophy，Then define ecological aesthetics as the ecological aesthetic theory based on ecological wisdom C，And analyze Chinese classical poetry as a sample of ecological aesthetics and ecological criticism，Aims to draw more attention to the aesthetic dimension of ecological literature and art，Promoting aesthetic research in ecocriticism，That is, "aesthetic ecocriticism"。
Next，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan talked about ecological wisdom T from ecological wisdom C，Provides a Chinese perspective of aesthetic ecocriticism。In Norwegian philosopher Arne·Inspired by Arne Naess’s “Ecosophy T”，Cheng Xiangzhan proposed his personal ecological philosophy，Ecosophy C，The C here represents eight words whose first letter is C: Chinese culture，This is the cultural background of the Chinese；Confucianism (Confucianism)，This is widely regarded as a symbol of China in the global bet365 games best slotscultural ecosystem；Continuity of being，This is the metaphysical and ontological commitment of Chinese philosophy and aesthetics；Creating life，），This is regarded as the great virtue of heaven and earth，From "The Book of Changes" "Life is called Yi"；Compassion，Means the ability to empathize with all life；Cheng Hao（Cheng Hao），His aesthetic thoughts represent the most systematic ecological aesthetic expression in Chinese aesthetics；Community，A key term in ecology，Aldo·Aldo Leopold developed his ecological conscience based on this；Cultural evils，This is a key point put forward in Professor Cheng Xiangzhan’s original aesthetic theory "An Aesthetics of Creating Life"。Ecological wisdom C theory responds to the “deeper questions” of deep ecology，Fully demonstrates the transformation of ecological philosophy from science to wisdom。
The third part of the lecture is "Ecological Aesthetics: Ecological Aesthetic Theory"。Professor Cheng Xiangzhan starts from the first appearance of ecological aesthetics，Points out that there are still differences in the objects of ecological aesthetics research on an international scale，Many scholars confuse ecological aesthetics with environmental aesthetics，Some scholars still question the legitimacy of ecological aesthetics。To this，Cheng Xiangzhan’s strategy is to develop ecological aesthetics with reference to the already mature environmental aesthetics，To help define and develop ecological aesthetics。Ecological aesthetics is different from non-ecologically oriented aesthetics，It is a new aesthetic method and concept to respond to the global ecological bet365 live casino reviewino blackjackcrisis，Based on ecological ethics，Relying on ecological knowledge to stimulate imagination and elicit emotions，Aiming to conquer tradition、Anthropocentric aesthetic preferences。Cheng Xiangzhan thus proposed a "Why-How-What" nature appreciation model，Discussed why we should appreciate nature、How can we appreciate nature、Three core questions about what we should appreciate in the natural environment，Built a mature ecological aesthetic model。
Part 4，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan elaborated on the role and application of ecological aesthetics in the appreciation of Chinese poetry。By analyzing Cheng Hao's "Autumn Days Come Together" and Du Fu's poems，Cheng Xiangzhan tries to put ecological aesthetics based on ecological wisdom C into practice，Verified its effectiveness in interpreting literary works。Cheng Xiangzhan concluded in the end，Two kinds of ecocriticism should be distinguished，One is "literary ecocriticism"，The other is "cultural ecocriticism"。The leading trend of international ecocriticism is actually "cultural ecocriticism"，It restores literary and artistic works to general cultural texts；Literary ecocriticism should be “aesthetic ecocriticism”，It should be based on ecological aesthetics，Not only pay attention to cultural issues，Pay more attention to aesthetic issues。
In the communication and discussion session，Wang Xingming from Rutgers University in the United States asked questions about the comparative issues of Eastern and Western ecological aesthetics，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan recommended the Harvard University series "Buddhism and Ecology" (1997)、"Confucianism Bet365 gamesand Ecology" (1998)、"Taoism and Ecology" (2001) and other works，And answered with "Axial Age"，I believe that the keyword Axial Age provides a better comparative framework for Eastern and Western ecological aesthetics and philosophical issues。Peggy·Professor Kapuzu proposed that Western tradition places more emphasis on the interconnection between people and the environment，The ecological wisdom of French philosopher Guattari has a certain depth，But Ecological Wisdom C proposed a more comprehensive version，That is, the metaphysical relationship between humans and nature。Professor Cheng Xiangzhan agrees with Professor Peggy’s comments，Think that ecological wisdom C has more metaphysical significance，For example, in traditional Chinese philosophy, "Tao" is the ultimate origin of the universe，"Tao gives rise to all things"，Therefore "all things are equal before the great road"，Compared to Guattari’s ecological wisdom, it has more metaphysical significance。The end of the lecture，Scholars from all over the world express their gratitude for the wonderful speeches，Scholars from Egypt and Sri Lanka have requested the documents on which the lecture is based and the PPT of the lecture，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan generously agreed。
This lecture shows，Chinese ecological aesthetics has further moved towards the international academic community。
