Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of science and technology, people’s material living standard has been improved so much, but the ecological system of the earth has completely failed to maintain its balance. The modern people have to face up to both the natural and social ecological crisis and the spiritual ecological crisis. Professor Lu Shuyuan pointed out in his Ecological Research in Literature and Art. that saving people’s soul is as important as saving the earth and it is not workable only to depend on the development of science and technology and the scientific management (Lu, 2000). At present, it is the high time for modern people to pay much attention to the cultivation of people’s ecological consciousness.
