Abstract

God-father Earth-mother metaphor in Taoist classics is analyzed from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. The mapping between source domain（father mother） and target domain（heaven earth）is discussed in details. The paper further studies the ecological insights reflected in this metaphor. The ecosystem is an organic whole，the damage to which will be returned in the form of natural disasters. Man should pay tribute to nature and be harmonious with nature.［Ch，1 tab. 1３ ref.］
