Traditional Chinese Philosophy is different with the Western Philosophy as metaphysics of substance and epistemology for inquiry cosmos, world and knowledge. Its interest lies in considering the relationship between man and world, man and man, man and himself, in order to construct ethic aesthetical and value world of meaning. Therefore, Chinese Philosophical Human Studies of humanism directly concern the issue of mind. There is not only theory of Mind-Nature, but also many scholars regard Confucianism as Philosophy of Mind, so that some see Chinese Philosophy as Philosophy of Mind. These understanding are coincident with postmodern Mind Ecology Studies in the perspective of Process Philosophy, so we. can say that Chinese Philosophy of Mind has the meaning of Mind Ecology Studies, and the latter further demonstrates the contemporary theoretic value and meaning of practice from Chinese Philosophy of Mind. Hence, three issues have to be discussed in this paper. First one is the Mind as Absolute Subject and Its Characters. The traditional Chinese Philosophy always see mind as an absolute subject which dominates everything, concerns everything in the universe, moreover, the mind as absolute subject has characters of wholeness and introversion. Second one is The Mind with Praxis Function for Growing and Developing. The growing and developing is a process, so the mind is not entity but spiritual praxis for actualizing Sage Realm of morality. In the course, various factors and relations of the mind get synergy in the thinking of organism and holism. Third one is Seeing Chinese Philosophy of Mind from Mind Ecology Studies.
