The universe is naturally a big world, while man is a small world. Man and nature are interlinked in essence, so all personnel should conform to the laws of nature and achieve harmony between man and nature. Laozi said: "People should be everywhere, the land should follow the sky, the sky should follow the Tao, and the Tao is natural."
The concept of "harmony between man and nature" was first developed by Zhuangzi, a Taoist thinker, into a philosophical system of harmony between man and nature, which constructed the main body of China traditional culture. The unity of heaven and man is not only an idea, but also a state.

In nature, heaven, earth and people correspond. Zhuangzi Sheng Da said: "Heaven and earth are the parents of all things."
The Book of Changes emphasizes the way of three talents, juxtaposes heaven, earth and man, and puts man at the center, which shows the importance of man's position. Heaven has heaven, and heaven lies in "starting everything"; Where there is land, there is a road, and there is a road to the land because "everything is born."
People not only have the way of others, but also have the function of "being everything".
More specifically: heaven says yin and yang, tunnel says rigidity and softness, and humanity says benevolence and righteousness. Although heaven, earth and people have their own ways, they are corresponding and interrelated. This is not only a relationship of "identity and correspondence", but also an internal generative relationship and realization principle. The way of heaven and earth is the principle of generation, and the way of man is the principle of realization, both of which are indispensable.
