Harmony Between Humanity and Nature

Harmonious coexistence means a sound relationship between humanity and nature, and it also epitomizes the CPC's concept of eco-civilization in the new era. In terms of development experience of different countries around the world, there has always seemed to be a conflict between economic and social development and environmental protection, that is, economic and social development has in general been attained at the expense of the ecological environment. However, such a development path is unsustainable. 

China has been assiduously exploring ways to maintain rapid economic development that does not come at too great a cost of the environment, in a bid to achieve coordinated development between the economy, society and the environment. Thanks to the Party's unremitting efforts since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the country has made great achievements in environmental protection. In particular, since the Party's 18th National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee has promoted ecological progress with unprecedented intensity. As a result, the consciousness and initiative to promote green development have been significantly enhanced throughout the Party and the country, the effort to build a beautiful China has taken a major step forward, and China's environmental protection has witnessed historic, all-round progress. While having achieved long-term social stability and rapid economic development, China has also made significant progress regarding green development, which has attracted worldwide attention and contributed to the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the new journey toward the second Centenary Goal of building a modern socialist country in all respects. 

China's development cannot be attained without a good ecological environment. The earth is humanity's only home, humanity and nature make up a community with a shared future, and the dream of building a beautiful home is shared by all humanity. Therefore, with deep reverence for nature and an attitude of respecting, accommodating and protecting nature, the Chinese people are committed to building a home planet where humanity and nature coexist in harmony. 

The vision featuring harmonious coexistence of humanity with nature is the basic position of the CPC on economic and social development in the new era. The idea that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and the goal of building a beautiful China are typical expressions of this vision.

和諧共生

和諧共生，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人與自然之間的一種良性關(guān)系，集中體現(xiàn)中國共產(chǎn)黨生態(tài)文明理念。從世界各國的發(fā)展經(jīng)驗(yàn)來說，經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)的發(fā)展與自然環(huán)境之間似乎總是存在著矛盾，即經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展總體上是以犧牲生態(tài)環(huán)境為代價(jià)的。但是，這樣的發(fā)展路徑是不可持續(xù)的。如何既贏得經(jīng)濟(jì)的迅速發(fā)展，又切實(shí)保護(hù)好環(huán)境，促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)與自然生態(tài)之間的協(xié)同發(fā)展，這是中國一直在探索的一條發(fā)展道路。中華人民共和國成立以來，中國共產(chǎn)黨推動(dòng)生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)事業(yè)從無到有、不斷壯大，取得了輝煌成就。特別是中共十八大以來，中共中央以前所未有的力度抓生態(tài)文明建設(shè)，全黨全國推動(dòng)綠色發(fā)展的自覺性和主動(dòng)性顯著增強(qiáng)，美麗中國建設(shè)邁出重大步伐，中國生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)發(fā)生歷史性、轉(zhuǎn)折性、全局性變化，在實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)快速發(fā)展奇跡和社會(huì)長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定奇跡的同時(shí)，取得了舉世矚目的綠色發(fā)展奇跡，為全面建成小康社會(huì)、邁入實(shí)現(xiàn)第二個(gè)百年奮斗目標(biāo)新征程增添綠色底色和質(zhì)量成色。中國的發(fā)展離不開整個(gè)自然生態(tài)環(huán)境，地球是全人類賴以生存的唯一家園，人與自然是命運(yùn)共同體，建設(shè)美麗家園是人類的共同夢(mèng)想。因此，中國人民深懷對(duì)自然的敬畏之心，尊重自然、順應(yīng)自然、保護(hù)自然，致力于構(gòu)建人與自然和諧共生的地球家園。

人與自然和諧共生的生態(tài)觀、發(fā)展觀，是新時(shí)代中國共產(chǎn)黨對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的基本立場(chǎng)，而“綠水青山就是金山銀山”理念和“美麗中國”目標(biāo)，就是這種生態(tài)觀、發(fā)展觀的典型表達(dá)。
