Far
from Zhou dynasty, Chinese government had already set up officers in
mountains to manage the forest. Reading the fable in “Zhou Li,” we
thus realize that “one should limit the amount of wooden forests’
cutting; otherwise, our descendants won’t have enough ones to
develop.”
It’s an ugly truth that the cutting down of the early mountain area
has already caused the severe injure upon our primary forests. The
area which suffers more damage from excessively cultivating than
others is the state-run original forests. What we experience from
the wild natural environment is its beautiful, elegant, and graceful
scenery. It not only provides us a completely relaxed and cheerful
playground, but also delights our spiritual and philosophical life.
However, without taking good care of our natural surrounding, we
keep on damaging its precious life. It’s such a catastrophe that
this kind of careless behavior straightly leads to the brokenness of
the mountains, rivers, and our families. Forests, which adapt or
imitate the management of the natural forests, will retain their
charming appearance as ingenious natural forests. In addition, these
kinds of forests, which are fostered on the schedule, will dispose
evenly and healthily, where one’s vision is always fresh and bright.
Meantime, people could observe that there are numerous kinds of
lichen, fungus, and moss on the ground. Adding with the planned
forest pavement that marvelously merges into the natural
environment, we not only see rich forests resources, but also enjoy
ourselves in this natural playing field, which offers people a
lovely and safe space for recreation.
In the past, what people care the most is whether the forest can
offer our humankind enough woods or not. Nevertheless, people take
notice of nowadays is how to satisfy people’s demand, and benefit
our descendants at the same time. Consequently, the future
management of the forest should give consideration according to
three aspects: the ecological preservation, economic feasibility,
and social acceptability.
