| description | The divine punishment view was developed based on the ancient philosophy of “the unity of heaven and mankind”, seeing the disasters as a warning from heaven for the failure of governance. The connotation of this concept is constantly changing and does not explore the objective laws of nature, but objectively plays a role in regulating social conflicts. While the early days provided opportunities for kings and ministers to advise on good governance, the king disposed of them by controlling information and introspecting on his own sins. In the medium term, it has evolved into a means of checking and removing senior officials and tipping the scales of officialdom. The Qing Dynasty, on the other hand, combined the occurrence of earthquakes with a literal prison, turning it into a tool to maintain the rule and suppress the people, and finally went to the end along with the feudal society. Insisting on both of science and democracy is the right way for social development. |
