Abstract: The relation between nature and human in Pre-Qin Period,as well as its existence and evolution,can be reasonably summarized into the two models:‘human complying with nature’ and ‘nature complying with human’.The former is an interpretation of ‘the mutual compliance between nature and human’ from a broad sense,and the latter from a narrow one.The mainstream then is ‘human complying with nature’,represented by Yin-yang School and Huang-Lao Taoism School,and supported by the Legalist School.YU Yingshi(YU Yingshih)considered the Axial Age as the shift from the old interpretation of ‘human complying with nature’ to a new one.The complicated and pluralistic relations between nature and human was simplified and narrowed down in his concept.YU Yingshi's choice of research materials and demonstration of conclusion may be purposely designed for the support of his concept on the Axial Age,and as a result,his argumentation seems to be farfetched.

Key words: human complying with nature, nature complying with human, the mutual compliance between nature and human, the Axial Age, YU Yingshi
