Unit 6 At one with nature
Starting out
What does “at one with nature” mean
Human beings live in harmony with nature. (人与自然和谐共处)
Taoism
In the traditional Chinese Taoism, nature is represented by Tien (Heaven and Earth), which is composed of human and non-human nature and even the ultimate rule of this universe. The perspective emphasizes that nature and man are as one.
Taoism describes the relationship between nature and man as ‘Heaven and earth were born at the same time I was, and the ten-thousand things are one with me’ (天地与我并生, 而万物与我为一).
It can be concisely summarized as a vision of ‘Unity of Nature and Man’ (天人合一).

What comes to your mind by viewing these pictures
How does the natural environment influence the lives of the local people in the picture
In north-west China, the yellow earth is thick and compacted, so people build cave dwellings as their place of residence.
China
Cave dwellings are common in certain areas of northern China where they serve as homes for more than 40 million people. In the provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi where the yellow earth (黄土) is quite compacted(坚实的), cave houses have been in use for centuries.
cave dwellings:
cliffside dwellings
pit(坑) dwellings
How does the natural environment influence the lives of the local people in the picture
In the UK, the mild climate and parks in towns and cities provide a pleasant natural environment in which people can relax and enjoy life.
the United Kingdom
The overall climate in England is called temperate maritime（温带海洋性气候）. This means that it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0 C in winter and not much higher than 32 C in summer.
How does the natural environment influence the lives of the local people in the picture
In Russia, it can get very cold with heavy snow in winter, so people live in houses with inclined roofs and wear thick clothes for outdoor activities.
Russia
Russia is generally cold throughout the year due to its proximity(靠近) to the arctic circle(北极圈). It snows heavily during winter and may average up to 15 inches of accumulated snow.
How does the natural environment influence the lives of the local people in the picture
In Myanmar, the climate is hot and humid and there are many rivers. Many people live in bamboo houses on stilts, which keep them above the water.
Myanmar
The structures are designed to suit the weather and avoid floods, snakes and other beasts. The roofs are usually laid with grass or tile(瓦片).
