What did Qin Xiangrui say?

Xiang Rui, the supervisor of Qin Dynasty, said that when the ancient emperors of China ascended the throne or held major sacrificial ceremonies, they would get auspicious omen according to astronomical and geographical signs. In ancient China, astronomical phenomena were regarded as an important symbol associated with the emperor's rule and the destiny of the country. Therefore, the emperor will send special officials to the Observatory (Qin) to observe the astronomical phenomena, and speculate on good and bad luck accordingly, and call it "Qin Ji". "Good omen" includes the observation of celestial phenomena such as the sun, the moon and the stars, and the explanation of other natural phenomena such as earthquakes and rainbows. According to the observation results, Qin officials will report the predicted good omen or bad omen to the emperor, so as to guide the emperor to make corresponding decisions in politics and sacrifice activities. In ancient China, Qin's observation and interpretation of Xiang Rui influenced the emperor's decision-making and national policies to a certain extent, and was regarded as a symbol of ruling legitimacy and political stability. However, it should be noted that natural phenomena such as astronomy and geography themselves do not determine the rise and fall of a country, and this observation and interpretation are influenced by the subjective judgment and political needs of officials. Therefore, "Qin Tian Jian Xiang Rui" is also biased and misleading in history, and it is not a completely objective and scientific observation and prediction method.
