At one with nature
What does “at one with nature” mean
Human beings live in harmony with nature. (人與自然和諧共處)
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’ (天地與我并生, 而萬物與我為一).
It can be concisely summarized as a vision of ‘Unity of Nature and Man’ (天人合一).
