Yanming building
It comes from Hurlock's thought. He pointed out that the purpose of establishing a country by contract is to protect private property, so the state should not interfere with citizens' private property. He has a famous saying, "My hut, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king can't." Locke even further believes that private property is the basis of human rights, and there is no human rights without private property.

The original text is as follows:

Even the poorest people dare to challenge the authority of the king in his hut. The house may be dilapidated and the roof may be crumbling; The wind can blow into this house, and the rain can enter this house, but the king can't step into this house, and his hordes dare not cross the threshold of this broken house.

Extended data:

The British philosopher John Locke put forward that the wind can enter, the rain can enter and the king can't enter. He, george berkeley and david hume are listed as representatives of British empiricism.

The wind can enter, the rain can enter, and the king can't enter, which embodies his proposition that the government can only be justified if it obtains the consent of the ruled and guarantees people's natural rights such as life, freedom and property. Locke believes that a social contract can only be established with the consent of the ruled. Without such consent, the people have the right to overthrow the government.
