When did someone in the history of China stop being afraid of the emperor and dare to overthrow and take his place in power? Why did the ancient people in China think that the son of heaven could
China was the first person who began to disrespect the son of heaven. It is recorded in Shang Tang in the late summer and Zhou Wuwang in the late Shang Dynasty. In order to find a code of conduct for this kind of behavior, Confucianism initiated the theory of destiny, saying that if the monarch had no choice, then destiny would not care for this son of heaven, but would look for another person to take his place. So the Tang-Wu Revolution became a logical possibility.

It was Chen Sheng at the end of Qin Dynasty who initiated the consciousness that civilians were not afraid of the emperor. During the uprising in Daze Township, he played the banner of "governors would rather have seeds". Awaken the consciousness of the bottom people who are not afraid of kingship.

It is these two theories, from the superstructure to the bottom consciousness, that provided the theoretical basis for the later founding fathers. It's just that as long as there is an accident in the future, someone will take risks and claim to be king. Later, in order to consolidate the kingship, kings emphasized that "the destiny is in me" and strengthened the means of ignorance.
