It is indeed bizarre, how during each golden age, natural disasters are exceptionally rare, while in times of chaos, they seem to emerge without limit. Even if Chen Xi is not exactly aware of every precise celestial phenomenon in the Late Han period, he can assure that in this era, the more you hope a natural disaster won't appear, the more likely the Lord of Heaven will make it so.
From this perspective, the ancient belief in the Unity of Heaven and Man holds some truth. Look, when a wise and martial sovereign king ushers in a golden age, there are scarcely any natural disasters; the winds are mild, and the rains timely. Then, as chaos approaches and the Emperor proves incompetent, disasters strike without end. Indeed, the Emperor, the Son of Heaven, deserves celebration for this phenomena... truly a testament to this idea...
