Abstract At present, the ecological crisis is becoming more and more serious and it is a fact that people are chasing material wealth blindly with no attention to the needs from heart, therefore, it is of great educational significance to explore Thoreau’s attitudes towards life embodied in his works Walden. Here the paper attempts to illuminate Thoreau’s life philosophy from three perspectives: returning to simplicity, eco-centric equality and pursuit of spiritual independence, which points out that Thoreau’s idea of a good life is to live a simple, free life and to live with nature harmoniously. Thus, it provides a good way for people to get rid of spirit crises and to deal with nature correctly.

His masterpiece, Walden, depicts the beauty of nature and is not only a personal experiment with a natural life but also a holistic philosophy of the relationship between man and nature. At present, the ecological crisis is becoming more and more serious and it is a fact that people are chasing material wealth blindly with no attention to the needs from heart; therefore, it is of great educational significance to explore Thoreau’s attitudes toward life embodied in his Walden. After the mid-1990s, some important research monographs on ecocriticism were published in America, such as, Rebecca Stefoff’s The American Environmental Movement, Lawrence Buell’s The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture and The Ecocriticism Reader: Landmarks in Literary Ecology collaborated by Cheryll Glotfelty and Harold Fromm and Jonathan Bate’s Romantic Ecology: Wordsworth and Environmental Tradition, Christopher Belshaw’s Environmental Philosophy: Reason, Nature and Human Concern , Which points out that Thoreau is today considered as the first major interpreter of nature in American literary history, and the first American environmentalist saint. The research development on ecocriticism in England could be represented by Laurence Coupe’s The Green Studies Reader: From Romanticism to Ecocriticism. And recent critical work includes David M. Robinson’s Natural Life: Thoreau’s Worldly Transcendentalism (2004) and Greg Garrard’s Ecocriticism and David Mazel’s A Century of Early Ecocriticism. Not until 1949 was Walden introduced into China. Its first Chinese version was translated by the famous Chinese writer Xu Chi, who regarded it as both a book full of life wisdom and a book embodied with vivid and beautiful description about nature. Thoreauvian study in China mainly focus on Thoreau’s idea about nature, highly praising his respect for nature and further affirming his important role in eco-literature such as Chen Kai’s The Ecological Ideology: Thoreau’s View on Nature, and Guan Chunhua’s Thoreau and Nature: Reflections on  Thoreau’s Walden Pound. The first monograph on Euro-American Ecological Literature in China by Wang Nuo was published in 2003 by Beijing Press University. However, up to now, most of the studies are just focus on the interpretation of Thoreau’s works on ecology but do not make deep exploration concerning the life philosophy in his Walden, which can give people direction of the way of living in which people should take in the future and how to respect humans’ life and nature, So, the present paper will specifically analyze this point in Walden.
