Abstract
“Of all creatures, man is the most highly endowed.” A human body is perfectly structured, quick-witted, responsive, coordinated, and flexible. Enlightened by such a configuration, structure, functions and working systems, we have arrived at innovative management principles such as “Following the Way the Human Body Works”, “One Centralis”, “Tertiary Structure and Two Stage Reflex”, “Five Processes”, “The Function of Information”, “Self-regulation of Organs”, and so on. The application of such principles in the construction of an eco city is helpful in bringing the city into full play in the promotion of eco-civilization, and especially in improving values, means of production, lifestyles, green development, and the promotion of harmony between man and nature and between man and society.
The paper is an achievement in the process of the national natural science fund project—A Research into the Change of Microbiota in Lanzhou Citizens’ Upper Respiratory Tract Under Sand-dust Pollution and the Corresponding Regulatory Mechanism. (The approval No. of the project is 31260133).
