Abstract
This article mainly explores the guiding significance of ancient Chinese views on nature and cosmology for modern ecological ethics, scientific research, and the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The article systematically sorts out the natural views and cosmology in ancient Chinese philosophy, and comprehensively analyzes their modern significance in combination with the actual needs of contemporary society. Research has shown that the ancient Chinese concept of nature, especially the idea of "harmony between man and nature", provides important insights for the construction of modern ecological ethics, emphasizing that humans should follow and respect nature. Meanwhile, the holistic view and dynamic thinking in ancient cosmology have a positive impact on contemporary scientific research, providing new perspectives and methods for the study of complex systems. In addition, this article finds that these ancient philosophical ideas can promote harmonious coexistence between humans and nature in practical applications, providing strong support for the construction of modern ecological civilization. By deeply exploring and inheriting these valuable philosophical ideas, new ideas and methods can be provided for the construction of ecological civilization, scientific research, and the construction of a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
