"Zhuan" \ <The Eternity and Majesty of Heavenly Principle>
Talking to contemporary Chinese people about the principles of heaven and earth, or about the retribution for good and evil, is often like casting pearls before swine, mostly drawing ridicule and mockery. Those who are slightly better will say it is just a noble wish of humanity, while those worse will think you are possessed.\A nation that once most revered the principles of heaven and earth and insisted on reasoning in everything has now become the most reckless, arrogant, foolish, and ignorant nation. This is truly an unprecedented calamity for our Chinese people! It is also the greatest evil caused by atheism.\'Indulge human desires, destroy heavenly principles' is the greatest poison atheism has inflicted on our Chinese nation. What kind of future would a nation that does not believe in heavenly principles and regards them as nothing face? I dare not imagine.\Yet, turning to history, countless human tragedies have shown us the eternity and majesty of heavenly principles! If every one of us, descendants of Yan and Huang, could believe in heavenly principles and uphold our conscience, the evil covering the land would have no place to survive and would vanish from the world in an instant!\Fear not the principles of heaven but fear power; on which side do right and wrong, good and evil stand?\As long as power turns to ashes in a day, the principles of heaven hang high as the sun and moon shine.\The world turns and changes, tides rise and fall, time brings many transformations.\The rise and fall of prosperity all have causes; disaster comes from accumulated evil, and the benevolent prosper.\Have you not seen Qin Shi Huang, exterminating the six states with pride?\Burning books and burying scholars, deceiving the common people, levying heavy taxes and exhibiting violence and madness.\In a blink, he was dead, the ancestral temples destroyed, descendants struck, and the second generation perished.\Those who fail to implement benevolent governance face heaven's punishment, and the construction of the Great Wall is long but in vain.\Have you not seen the Nazi Party, arrogantly coming to power?\They sparked World War II and unleashed a storm, their iron heels trampling everywhere bringing frost and devastation.\In a few years, the country changed, flags fell, households perished, and followers were lost.\Targeted by millions, the country's shame remains, families disgraced, and regrets unbearable.\The Roman Empire of old, dominating Europe and Asia,\persecuted true faith for three hundred years, only to collapse overnight into desolation.\Qin Hui once dominated the court, covering the sky with one hand, ensnaring the loyal and upright.\His infamous reputation persists for a thousand years in our ears, forever kneeling at Yue Temple as a warning to the world.\Those in power indulging evil intentions inevitably meet retribution.\The clear records of history all bear witness, enlightening future generations to ponder deeply.
