As it emphasizes the interdependence between nature, society and human relations, it is an ecological masterpiece. With the help of the basic thoughts of the ecological views, analysis of the ecological crisis has been presented from three perspectives, namely, natural ecological view, social and spiritual ecological view, and female ecological view.
