Abstract:

Since ancient times, nature and the environment have shared an inextricable bond. Numerous efforts have been made in our culture to protect nature. To connect the common people with nature, its protection, worship, rituals, and rites were integrated into religion. Worshiping cows and other animals is essential for the continuation of the family lineage, and worshipping various rivers, trees, and mountains is essential for their protection and survival. Nature and literature also share an inextricable connection; no literature in the world is complete without a depiction of nature. This is because the story of human life begins with nature. The Early Stone Age and the Neolithic Age repeat this same story. Poets, essayists, and storytellers convey the glorious saga of nature to readers through their heroes and heroines. However, as time has passed, human thinking has become refined. Engrossed in worldly pursuits, humans have devoted all their energy to acquiring wealth and acquiring material comforts. His thoughts, ideas, attitudes, beliefs, and emotions began to change, and he gradually became selfish. Nature continued to degrade, resulting in his loss of connection to nature and its natural elements, such as rivers, streams, mountains, waterfalls, lakes, flowering plants, and so on. He now lives as a stranger in the world. This situation is deeply concerning and pathetic. Whether we call this humanity's good fortune or misfortune, a blessing or a curse, is ultimately our own responsibility. We, selfishly, manipulated nature for our own development and progress.It has been polluted, and its effects are clearly reflected in our lives. Today, people's lives are affected by various serious illnesses, natural disasters, and climate change.
