Confucianists advocate the holistic cosmology of “harmony between humanity and nature and unity of all things,” the ethical pursuit of “loving all people and things and treating them as brothers, sisters and companions,” and the practical guideline of “taking from nature at the proper time and to the proper extent.” These are not only the core values of Confucian ecological culture, but also the concentrated embodiment of Confucian thinking in the ecological field. In the context of the new era, the ecological theory resources in Confucianism can provide ideological resources for reflecting on anthropocentric values. Furthermore, it can provide inspiration and reference for breaking through the bottleneck of environmental ethics, ultimately offering cultural support for the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. Under the guidance of Marxism, we should interpret the ecological cultural view of Confucianism in a modern way, realize the modern transformation of Confucian ecological culture, and advance the construction of ecological civilization in the new era with heightened cultural awareness.
