In response to multiple questions raised by the interviewer regarding the development of ecological aesthetics in the post-human era, Professor Cheng Xiangzhan provided answers grounded in his theory of Sheng Sheng Aesthetics. Regarding how to draw upon Western theories while avoiding the trap of “interpreting Chinese concepts through Western lenses”, he argued that outstanding Western theories possess transcendent value and can be referenced, but we must avoid rigid application. Chinese scholars should instead explore the originality inherent in their own theoretical frameworks. On revitalizing classical ecological aesthetic resources, he proposed a four-tiered approach of “reconstruction-interpretation-transformation-development”, advocating for measured interpretation of classical ecological aesthetics while avoiding arbitrary labeling. Regarding the future of ecological aesthetics, he suggested establishing ecological realism as its philosophical foundation, constructing an inclusive logical framework, and integrating diverse perspectives. Regarding ecological aesthetics’ application in urban planning and new rural construction, he emphasized its role in guiding new aesthetic perspectives, asserting that ecological aesthetic education promotes eco-friendly lifestyles. On confronting the post-humanist wave, he proposed integrating ecological humanism with post-humanism, arguing ecological aesthetics remains essential in the cyborg era while incorporating contemporary technological advancements. Regarding the creation of urban ecological literature, he proposed that it should be developed through deep reflection and practice centered on three key concepts: placelessness, urban ecology, and environmental justice.
