a beautiful home of blue sky, green land and clean water. Meanwhile, no country
can really stay detached and intact in the face of global challenges such as environmental crisis. The international community should join hands in seeking a road
to global ecological civilization. How to build an ecological civilization? We must
keep in mind that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, explore
a new path to advance ecological priority and green development in parallel, and
balance the relation between development and protection, so that the sound ecological environment will generate more green wealth. We must protect the ecological
environment with the strictest laws and regulations, intensify front-end prevention,
process control and back-end punishment, and place equal emphasis on formulation
and execution, punishment and incentive, so as to make the regulations real deterrents
and provide the institutional guarantee for ecological civilization and environmental
protection. We must regard mountains, waters, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands as a community of life, respect the ecosystem’s integrity and internal laws,
carry out comprehensive and systematic protection, recovery and governance, and
take a holistic view of all natural and ecological elements to reinforce ecosystem’s
circulation mechanism and maintain ecological balance. We must follow the mass
line of ecological civilization, and create a social system where all residents take
part in environmental protection, everyone fulfills the responsibility for building an
ecological civilization, cherishes resources and protects the environment, so as to
build a beautiful China and realize man-nature harmony.

1. Theoretical significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization—
enriching and developing the Marxist view on man and nature
With the deep insight, acute judgment and strategic resolve of a Marxist politician and
theorist, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forth the thought on socialist ecological
civilization with Chinese characteristics. The thought inherits the theory, spirit and
character of the Marxist thought on man-nature relation, and accurately grasps the
new situation, new contradictions, new features, and new issues concerning the mannature relation in China in the new era. Fully absorbing the current situations, it lays
down a series of new concepts, new thoughts and new strategies that must be observed
