Abstract The services geography is a branch of economy geography. Comparing with other branch courses of economy geography, such as agricultural geography and industry geography, the research object of services geography must be spirit requirement of people. If agricultural geography had solved meal problem, and industry geography had solved clothes, consumption of article of everyday use problem, the both had satisfied people's low requirement, the services geography must solve people's high-grade requirement. From theory we can know that it is more difficult to solve high-grade requirement of people than to solve low requirement of people. The theory of holographic unity of man-Earth tells us that man and Earth is not only a relation but also an entirety to know geography environment by mankind, this history had walk from unify of Chaos (geography environment determine theory), to sufficient separating of man and nature (volition theory), and to achieve holographic unity (coordinate theory). Therefore, author raised the theory of holographic unity of man-Earth in this paper; it is a system of philosophy methodology with enlightening to human geography. Since it is a science theory, it is also a philosophy theory to human geography. The foundation of the theory of holographic unity of man-Earth is monism, that is to say "the no-break theory". The nucleus of the no-break theory is that everything (including people) exists eight reality concepts of "no-born and no-exterminating, no-breaking and no-constant, no-same and no-different, no-coming and no-going", form this eight concepts we can thrust out that the cause/result, owner/customer, limited/boundless …etc.
