Aimed at contributing to the diverse cultural pedagogies for ecological education, this paper proposes a Confucian approach by referring to the classic 'Yijing' ('The Classic of Changes'). Rejecting the human-centred presupposition of anthropocentricism, this paper elucidates an anthropocosmic worldview that unites humans with heaven and earth. Humans are exhorted to follow the Way (dao), which is manifested in the natural world and realised in humans through humaneness (ren). Confucian pedagogy involves three overlapping and interactive steps: observation of and reflection on heavenly patterns and earthly order in the natural world; identification of virtues exhibited by the natural world; and development of these virtues so as to become a virtuous person. Confucian ecological ethics integrates key elements from anthropocentrism and ecocentrism by emphasising both the educational function and intrinsic value of nature. Confucian ecological education also goes beyond learning about nature to learning from it through an array of outdoor activities.
