To be nature-friendly is to do good to human beings themselves. Ultimately, the relation between human beings and water is being water-friendly. From the perspective of philosophy, this paper conducts indepth analysis and research on the Dujiang Weir Irrigation System, the typical case among water conservancy projects in ancient times, follows the philosophy and scientificity of Taiji Diagram in water control in ancient times, respects the rule of water itself and reduces the philosophy of Taiji Diagram into “one divides into two, unity of opposites, extremes meet, dynamic equilibrium”. Meanwhile, it proposes that “those who are good at managing and utilizing water are kind to water”. They are good at learning about water, comprehending water, mastering the essence of water, the features of water, the moving rule of water; good at utilizing water in a scientific way, control water in a unified way and taking water in a planned way; good at controlling water separately and utilizing water in a unified way; good at blocking water and releasing water; good at resisting water, diverting water and controlling water; good at protecting water, conserving water and maintaining water; good at coordinating the relation between human and water, integrating human and water and codeveloping human and water. With the intention of loving nature and water, people are kind to water, the source of life, from the philosophy of China’s traditional science culture, in combination with modern water conservancy experience and methods. Human beings and water are symbiotic as people need to fight against flood and draught and strike a balance among the dependence on water, the utilization of water and the control of water. Those who are kind to water deem water as family members, friends and live by water, enjoy harmonious relation and integration with water and co-develop with water, thereby living long and prosper in an endless succession. In this way, human beings can better grasp the lifeline of ecology, improve ecological environment and achieve sustainable development.
