  • Descrição: [...]why were the disasters affecting the capital more severe than those in the other areas of the empire? Yet if [those in power] do not possess fear in their minds and do not rectify the government, there will be a gradual increase in disasters and [the state] will gradually be cut off from heaven. From at least as far back as the Zhou dynasty, officials interpreted the occurrence of natural disasters and anomalous events as indications of both misguided political policy and improper conduct on the part of the ruler and high-ranking officials.5 Over the course of the Warring States and Han, theories explaining the relationship between the cosmos and human affairs proliferated, and cosmological discourse eventually came to be dominated by a doctrinal framework known as correlative cosmology.6 Although the different theories identified under the rubric of correlative cosmology exhibited a substantial degree of diversity, they shared the assumption that the condition of the cosmos reflected political affairs. [...]they had to convince the ruler, officials and other literati that the disorder heralded by the occurrence of anomalies could not be rectified by traditional means, but rather only through the implementation of their reform agenda.
