Nothing is more dangerous than confidence without depth.
Claiming China is the only civilization where religion never influenced politics isn’t bold — it’s historically illiterate.
Confucianism was state orthodoxy.
The Mandate of Heaven legitimized emperors.
Daoist and Buddhist movements shaped courts and sparked rebellions.
Imperial ritual wasn’t culture — it was political theology.

Echo chambers produce certainty — not expertise.
Which dynasty are we pretending doesn’t count? All of them perhaps?
