What astronomical phenomena does smog symbolize?

As the saying goes: look to heaven and know your destiny. Astronomical phenomena refer to all kinds of "natural phenomena" in the sky, representing providence, that is, providence. God's will is not transferred by man's will, but the will of God is the will of the universe.

Sunrise and sunset have their own time. Tides rise and fall, orderly. In the dark, there are acts of God. The laws from the birth and death of living things to the development of human civilization are all under the control of God's will and can be observed from the astronomical phenomena.

China's traditional culture holds that "heaven and man are one", the universe and man are a whole, and the celestial universe space-time and the earth space-time are antagonistic. Human behavior will affect the astronomical phenomena. People go with the weather, and the weather is auspicious, which means that the weather is good and the country is safe; On the contrary, if the sky is ominous, there will be a disaster vision on the earth.

In China's successive cultures, from emperors, prime ministers, sages and sages to ordinary people and rural villagers, they all believed in the truth of knowing astronomy above, geography below and personnel below. The Book of Changes: "Look at the change of astronomical observation time." "Wu Zixu, a saint of the State of Wu, knows astronomy above, geography below, and learns martial arts." ("Dunhuang Bianwen Chapter? Wu Zixu Bianwen ")

In the traditional culture of China, it has always been thought that the "emperor" is the real dragon descending from the sky, also known as the "real dragon son of heaven". They have great reverence for heaven and earth. Every emperor in history regarded offering sacrifices to heaven and earth as a very important political activity. Sacrificing to heaven is the only ritual that the emperor needs to perform three kneeling and nine knocking gifts. According to the historical records of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the vault offering sacrifices to heaven every winter solstice inherited the most important form of ancient suburban sacrifice, and the etiquette was extremely grand and complicated. Its purpose is to safeguard God's will, pray for God's protection, revitalize the country and make the country and people safe.

At the same time, there are also "Si", "Taishiling" and "Qin" in the Ancient Poetry Garden, which are responsible for astronomical observation and prediction of good or bad luck. Sometimes, when there is a vision from heaven, the emperor will introspect and correct his behavior. Many famous scientists in ancient China, such as Zhang Heng, Shen Kuo and Guo Shoujing, were in charge of astronomical observation. In ancient China, many scholars wrote books and expounded the prediction of astronomical phenomena in detail, among which Sima Qian, a famous writer and historian in the Western Han Dynasty, wrote The Official History. Many famous military strategists will predict the changes of world events by observing astronomical phenomena, such as Sean in the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms and Liu Ji in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Jiang's description of the celestial phenomena in the Yin Dynasty in the Annals of Bamboo Books is: "In June, the five latitudes gather together. Later, there was a Phoenix inscription, which was the capital of King Wen. " "There is no way for the Yin emperor to abuse the world, and the fate of the stars will move, which will last for a long time, and the spirit will be far away, and God will blow away. Five-star residence, showing the four seas. " Sure enough, on May 28th, BC 1059, the dynasty changed to Zhou, when all the planets gathered for 28 nights.

According to Records of the Historian, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, comets appeared four times in fifteen years, lasting more than eighty days, and the length of comets passed. Later, sure enough, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six countries, unified the world, and was busy dealing with the surrounding foreigners. The dead people slept in a big mess, so King Zhang Chu and others got up together.

In fact, trying to figure out and understand the astronomical phenomena is not superstition, but people's respect and humility for the vast world after getting rid of the psychology of blind arrogance and superstition of science. This view is not even unique to Mao Zedong, who believes in materialistic atheism.

According to records, on April 2 1, 1976, when Mao Zedong learned of the rare meteorite shower in Jilin on March 8, he said with emotion and excitement, "China has a school of theory called the induction between heaven and man. It is said that if there is any big change in the world, nature will show it and give people a prediction. There are good omen and bad omen. " "The earth shook, boulders fell from the sky, and people were dying. Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms all threw stones and broke flagpoles when they died. Great men and celebrities are really different, and they all have to die very vividly and extraordinary. " When Mao was asked: When a great man dies, a big stone will fall from the sky. Do you really believe it? Mao Zedong pondered and said, "Why did the ancients make this up?"

Facts have proved that China's three giants, Mao Zedong (September 9th), Zhu De (July 6th) and Zhou Enlai (65438+1October 8th), died one after another. On July 28th, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Tangshan, killing 240,000 people and seriously injuring160,000 people. From May to August, three strong earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 or above occurred in Yunnan and Sichuan.

Recently, smog weather (also known as haze) has appeared in many parts of the country, and severe smog weather has appeared in Northeast China, North China and Central China. The scope, duration, severity and public panic of this smog are the highest in history. The most incredible thing is that people say that stench can only be seen in life.

According to the research of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the primary pollutant causing smog is PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5), that is, particulate matter with a diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns in the atmosphere, that is, inhalable lung particulate matter. About two-thirds (68%) of PM2.5 pollution in Beijing is related to the burning of biochemical substances. The smog in the sky is easily reminiscent of the dusty scene when cleaning. For example, did God wash in the universe, and many metabolites fell to the earth like dust?

What kind of providence is represented behind this celestial phenomenon? In ancient times, smog was regarded as an act of god and a warning from heaven. The rulers of the smoggy country thanked God for his warning, reflected on themselves, and adopted various measures such as self-reproach, benevolence, and exemption from the three fairs.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties 148 1 to 1856, the royal family of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ordered the civil and military officials to fast for three days, forbidding massacres in the world and "giving rain by touching the gods". In the first year of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty (32 BC), because of the particularly severe yellow haze weather, the ruling and opposition parties shook, and Emperor Cheng blamed himself, saying, "I don't know much about inheriting the sacred feelings of our ancestors. I was wrong about Yin and Yang, the sun and the moon were dull, and the red Huang Zhi gas filled the whole world. I am embarrassed. "

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty recorded the second year of Shun Di Yang Jia (133). Because "since I entered the old age, I have been frustrated, the moon is not bright, and the day is unclear", Lang Yi wrote a letter suggesting: "Confucius who wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals and the book of the first month should start the year of respecting the elderly. The king is the image of heaven. In the order of time, we should develop the name of virtue, be a noble person, be generous, be kind, help our vitality and support ordinary people. In this way, the astronomy is rotten, the stars are obvious, the five latitudes follow, and the four seasons are harmonious. Otherwise, the sun is not only cloudy but also cloudy. " LaVida asked the emperor to appoint talents and people according to the induction between heaven and man.

History is a mirror. Haze is not a simple natural phenomenon, but a manifestation of God's will. Rulers should correct their decisions and actions according to God's will and govern the world according to God's will. Is today's smog also showing us some kind of providence? I hope all good people can read and obey God's will and have a peaceful and beautiful future.
