The Chinese view of man and nature is not that man is man and nature is nature, but rather, as Lin Ku-fang puts it, that "the vast land, with its mountains and rivers, is bound up with the world of man, so that they have deep feelings for each other and cannot be separated."
中國人的自然與中國的人，不再人是人、自然是自然。也是文化學者林谷芳說的：「山河大地、人世一切，盡成與自己不可分割的有情。」
