He not only put forward the consciousness of ethics practice-Adapting the law of heaven and making use of it.; but also advocate ecological moral responsibility-Prudently observing the ban on seasonal rules of nature.There will be some significant enlightening value for us to not only establish the theory of environmental ethics but also solve the increasing ecological crises facing humanity.
