The idea of heaven and man first originated in the pre-Qin period, and it was only after the outbreak of the global ecological crisis that foreign countries noticed this idea. However, some Western ecologists’ interpretation of HBMN does not understand the true meaning of his thought but instead has a narrow utilitarian interpretation. Through literature discussion, this article interprets the ideological connotations of domestic and foreign scholars. Generally speaking, it is believed that the idea of HBMN is inextricably linked to the concept of sustainable development (SD). We should combine the strengths of both parties and complement each other’s shortcomings so that traditional concepts can be reborn in today’s era.</jats:p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Language, Literature and Culture}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Cheng, Yuting}, year={2025}, pages={36–43} }
