About This Novel

This book focuses on the content of Weishu in medieval writings and the Weixue thoughts embodied in specific political activities, and explores the relationship between knowledge, belief and political legitimacy in the Middle Ages. In the context where there is no modern political theory to rely on, "peace", "auspiciousness", "disaster", "mandate of destiny", etc. Are the main political languages. The "Dragon Picture", "Fengji", "Jingyun", "Heqing", etc. Are the main political symbols. The topics covered in this book are not only an important part of the world of knowledge and belief in the Middle Ages, but also relate to the relationship between political ups and downs and ideological ups and downs. Using the Middle Ages as a sample, we also have some thoughts on understanding the shaping of political legitimacy throughout human history.
