This paper is a study of the ancient chinese thoughts in environment. In general, chinese thought was centered cosmology and theory of human nature. However, the ancient chinese philosophy is deeply associated with environmental changes. In previous studies dealing with neglect this point. Eventually, thoughts is a reflection of human lives and the environment. It is same in china. In Lao Tzu, the Analects of Confucius, Chuang Tzu, Mencius, Han Feizi, we can see the environment-related illustrations. In this paper, I analyze the following concepts: Jiuchiroulin(酒池肉林, The alcohol lake and forests of meat), shouzhudaitu(守株待兎, waiting to die the rabbit hit on a tree stump), the destruction of the beautiful forests Niushan(牛山), xiangxiang(想像, imagine), Farm Equipment you(耰), Foxes and martens leather huhao(狐貉). As a result, the following results were obtained: First, the climate in ancient china is gradually getting colder and the weather became dry. Secondly, it was gradually enlarged in a residential and agricultural area. Therefore, mountains and forests began to be destroyed. Third, as the changes of the environment, therefore, the conditions of life were changed also.
