After the continuous development and deepening of reform and opening up, China’s economic development speed has experienced a rapid increase, and the ecological problems caused by the contradiction between man and nature have become increasingly prominent. XI Jin-ping’s ecological civilization thought has profound connotations. Firstly, it requires that people actively implement the ecological concept of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”. Then people must also adhere to the basic principles of respecting, conforming to and protecting nature, and promote the formation of green development methods and lifestyles. Finally it points out that the building of ecological civilization is related to the realization of beautiful China. From the economic perspective, this paper analyzes the economic implications of XI Jin-ping’s thought on ecological civilization from the aspects of unification of natural wealth and artificial wealth, coordination of ecological benefits and economic benefits, and consistent ecological balance with social reproduction. Therefore, from the aspects of establishing the mechanism of ecological economic development and promoting green production methods and lifestyles, inspired by XI Jin-ping’s ecological civilization thought, this paper puts forward some important implications for the healthy and high-quality development of our country’s economy, providing guidance for the sound development of China’s economy.
