Interpretation of Tangshan Earthquake Memorial from the perspective of Eastern philosophy From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Tangshan Earthquake Memorial is not only a monument to commemorate the compatriots who died in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, but also a profound reflection on the relationship between life, nature and human beings. In Eastern philosophy, especially Taoist thought, it emphasizes "the unity of man and nature" and believes that man and nature should coexist harmoniously. The tragedy of the Tangshan earthquake, in a sense, reminds us of the insignificance and fragility of human beings in the face of nature. The existence of the monument is not only a mourning for the deceased, but also a warning to the living, reminding people to respect nature, live in harmony with nature, follow the laws of nature, reduce damage to nature, and avoid similar disasters from happening again. Interpretation of Tangshan Earthquake Memorial from the perspective of Western philosophy From the perspective of Western philosophy, especially existentialism and humanism, Tangshan Earthquake Memorial reflects more of the tenacity and unity of human beings in the face of disasters. Existentialism emphasizes the free will and choice of individuals in the face of impermanence and suffering. The monument has become a symbol of the indomitable spirit of human beings to rebuild their homes in the face of natural disasters. Humanism focuses on human values and dignity. The monument is not only a commemoration of the deceased, but also a celebration of the courage and hope of the living. It embodies the power of unity, mutual assistance and reconstruction shown by human beings in adversity. Rationalism in Western philosophy also prompts us to think about how to improve the ability to predict and respond to natural disasters and reduce possible losses in the future through the advancement of science and technology. In summary, whether from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature" in Eastern philosophy or from the perspective of existentialism and humanism in Western philosophy, the Tangshan Earthquake Memorial carries profound humanistic care and philosophical thinking, reminding us to cherish life and respect nature, and at the same time, show human tenacity and wisdom in the face of difficulties and challenges.
