Abstract: The study on Confucian technical thoughts of Pre-Qin Dynasty needs to get rid of the simple way of talking about ideas by talking about ideas. Deeper and more comprehensive study on Confucian technical thoughts of Pre-Qin Dynasty will ensue at both the content level and the perspective level by clarifying and analyzing the Confucian views of nature in Pre-Qin Dynasty as the foundation of Confucian technical thoughts in that period. The Confucian views of nature of Pre-Qin Dynasty—“nature is the true law”, “the destiny of heaven can be controlled by the people” and “love all the people and the world”, respectively lay the foundation for the ontology, subjectivity and ecology of Confucian technical thoughts in Pre-Qin Dynasty. Meanwhile, the Confucian views of nature of Pre-Qin Dynasty advocate a holistic, harmonious and organic ecological concept, which provide us with valuable implications on enriching ecological views of Marxism and solving the lack of humanism and ecology of technical thoughts as well as ecological crisis.

Key words: Confucianism of Pre-Qin Dynasty, view of nature, technical thought, ecology
