Harmony between humans and nature is the essence of traditional Chinese ideology and culture. “If one observes the Way of Heaven, and maintains its doings as his own, all that he has to do is accomplished.” Only when people show sincere respect for nature , treating all things on Earth with kindness and gratitude, can human beings begin to live in harmony with the heavens and earth. Zhuangzi believed the Tao was the source of life, nurturing everything. The root of all things is life which rises from freedom. Following the Tao, the nature of life will become clear. Only free life shows the great beauty and kindness of the universe.

Love of nature and art connects all of humanity, traversing racial barriers and national boundaries. This book presents the most popular works of Cheng Yan’s wildlife photography and is dedicated to those who love life and nature and cherish all living things.
