Why has there never been a phenomenon of theocracy suppressing royal power in China in history?

Because of the traditional sects in China, the teachings of Taoism are very complex and varied, and the reason why Taoism is overtaken by Buddhism is because there are too many sects of Taoism, fighting each other, and they cannot form an effective threat to the royal power.

Because China pays attention to the divine right of imperial power. The emperor is the son of God in China, and the emperor represents both imperial and divine power.

Because in the history of China, God was only depicted by the emperor to rule the world. Therefore the power of the king is greater than that of the gods.

China did not come to any big religious source forces, in the final analysis, it should be the maturity of the ** centralized system China in the Qin Dynasty, 221 BC began the construction of the ** centralized system and the real large-scale religion, such as Taoism was founded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties I have to say that there was a period of time when Buddhism was almost greater than the royal power in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (Emperor Wu of Liang sold himself four times, sacrificed himself to Tongtai Temple, and was called the "Monk Emperor"), but after all, it was very short.

Religious forces have no political rights and no economic lifeline, and are relatively weak.

Had.

Ancient Chinese bai

The ruling thought is Confucianism, and Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, put forward the saying that the ghosts and gods belong to the gods, so later generations also inherited this idea very well. Similarly, since the Zhou Dynasty used the sub-feudal system, it was mainly based on patriarchy. That is to say, in the traditional concept of the Chinese, those who died are their own relatives, and the ancestors, even if they become immortals and ghosts, are only their own relatives, how can there be a ruling relationship in it? In addition, the ancient Chinese gods were created by natural phenomena that people could not explain, and the worship of the gods was also to pray for good weather and good weather.

Although the ancient Chinese people were superstitious, it was basically impossible for the divine power to surpass the royal power, because nothing could threaten the rights and interests of the emperor, otherwise it would be eradicated.

In ancient China, religion was at its peak and power was the greatest, and it should have been the Shang Dynasty. A large number of bronze ritual vessels, oracle bone inscriptions, appeared. It shows that divination was very religious at that time, and it was very useful for politics.

However, there are very few historical materials of the Shang Dynasty, and from the current academic point of view, it is not higher than the royal power.

The Chinese theocracy is embodied in respect and fear of the heavens, but the theocracy is often combined with the kingship, and the emperor is portrayed as a representative of the will of the gods, called the Son of Heaven. There is no divine right over royal power.

Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty sold himself into a Buddhist temple as a temple slave several times, I don't know if it counts? And Li Tang worships Lao Tzu as an ancestor, and I don't know if it counts? The Shang Dynasty belonged to the Dongyi tribe and was influenced by the customs of Dongyi, and was most sincere in its respect for the gods or simply for their ancestors.

No. At most, it is a combination of divine power and imperial power.

The lamb theory held by others, but the theory of God as the ancestor held by Huaxia is held. God used to be the dragon and phoenix unicorn, and the Chinese ancestors from the ancestral witch to Dayu are the existence of super gods (dragon and phoenix unicorns), because the Chinese family used to be the evolution and then upgrade and replacement of the dragon and phoenix unicorns. There has never been a mainstream history in this land where divine power is above royal power, because the ancestors did not allow interest groups to manipulate falsehood; Because falsehood leads civilization to hypocrisy; It is also because our civilization inheritance has not been broken, and this place will occasionally produce real people who can distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and there is no market for fake things here.

Because in traditional culture, there is no such thing as divine power, so China's royal status is the highest.

Because in the eyes of many emperors, their status is above all else, and their dignity cannot be questioned.

Because the culture of ancient China was very advanced, people did not believe in the existence of gods at all, and people felt that power was the most important.

First of all, China has been worshipping multiple gods since the beginning of primitive society, and they all worship nature, and will not make a god to worship, secondly, China's only dynasty with a more developed theocracy is called the Shang Dynasty, but this is only a situation that will appear when slavery is developed, and finally, Confucius once said that "if you can't do things, you can do ghosts", this kind of social atmosphere makes you not have much interest in theocracy.

Because China's feudal ideology is more serious, ancient kings would use their thoughts to suppress the resistance of the people, and think that they are the true dragon emperors, even if they are immortals, they have to protect themselves.

Because China's theocracy was created by the king's power, and the role of the theocracy is to serve the king's power.

Because the theocracy in ancient China was in the service of the kingship. Ancient rulers would use theocracy to help themselves in order to further consolidate their position and increase their prestige.

Because the theocracy of ancient China was to serve the royal power, the Sons of Heaven all hoped to use theocracy to maintain their royal power.
