中文摘要：

斯图尔德的《文化变迁论》介绍到中国已30余年，我国学术界一直高度关注文化对所处生态系统的适应，而对该理论中的另一个核心理论——“文化生态观”却关注不够。文化的适应是可以观察到的直接成果，而文化生态耦合体的延续则必然表现为一个过程。生态建设的实质意味着靠人类的努力去再建良好的生态系统。当前中国正处于生态建设的关键时期，在生态文明建设中重新审视“文化生态观”，显然具有直接的现实价值。

英文摘要：

Theory of Culture Change ： The Methodology of Multilinear Evolution by Julian Steward was introduced to China 30 years ago. The Chinese academia, however, has paid much attention to the cultural adaption to the ecosystem, ignoring its cultural ecologica! perspective, which is an essen- tial element of this theory. Cultural adaption is a direct outcome that can be observed. But the exten- sion of cultural ecological coupling is surely a process. The essence of ecological construction means to rebuild a better ecosystem by mankind. Currently, the ecological construction in China is at a critical moment. Therefore, it has much practical significance to reexamine ＂cultural ecological perspective＂ during the construction of ecological civilization.
