摘要：张于荣近年的创作被推为中国当代海洋诗歌的重要进展，他改变了海洋书写的“征服”型话语，在对鱼——渔者关系的思辨中表达了生命平等观，表现出深层生态伦理意识。他诗歌中鱼的死亡引发的“虚无”，改变了大海于人而言的形象，但他没有采取非人类中心视角，而是持自然主义立场，在顺应人类客观历史与经验逻辑事实的基础上，将人——鱼置于一个守恒的关系，并发出对技术主义的警惕与反思，续接了中国古人的生态思想智慧。面对海、人、鱼的缠结、冲突关系，他返回中国传统文化，接通“和合”之道，从诗化海洋与物种，拟构写意化的劳动，换位思考等方面，求得海洋生态伦理的想象性建构。

Title: Equality, Naturalism, and Harmony: The Ecological Ethics in Zhang Yurong’s Sea Poetry
Abstract: Zhang Yurong’s recent works have been hailed as a significant advancement in contemporary Chinese sea poetry. He transformed the "conquest" discourse of oceanic writing, articulating a vision of life equality through reflections on the relationship between fish and fishermen, thereby expressing deep ecological ethical awareness. The “nothingness” evoked by the death of fish in his poetry reshapes the image of the sea in human perception. However, rather than adopting an anti-humanist perspective, he maintains a naturalist stance, aligning with the objective historical and experiential logic of humanity. Placing humans and fish in a state of conservation, he issues warnings and reflections against technicism, continuing the ecological wisdom of ancient Chinese thought. Faced with the entangled and conflicting relationships among sea, humans, and fish, he draws back to traditional Chinese culture, connecting with the “harmony” philosophy. Through poetic depictions of the sea and species, the imaginative labor of metaphorical writing, and empathetic perspectives, he achieves a speculative construction of marine ecological ethics.
