At one with nature
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).
