An Interpretation of Political Philosophy of Dong Zhongshu's Theory of ChunQiu Yin-Yang Catastrophe

After Dong Zhongshu successfully explained the catastrophe of ChunQiu and achieved the conversion of ChunQiu by the theory of Yin-Yang, he laid the basic paradigm for the interaction between Classics and politics, this method allows other people who reserch other Classics to follow suit. Dong Zhongshu as the emperor's fear of the heaven as his prerequisite, he effectively communicated the emperor's desire and fear with the scholar's ideal. Then he used theory of Yin-Yang which as the heaven as his theoretical basis, this theory not only a reasonable explanation of the occurrence of catastrophe but also put forward an effective coping style. Dong Zhongshu's explanation is based on a very rational color of the theory of heaven and man, there is no so-called theological theory of politics. The theoretical level of perfection does not represent the political reality level of achievement. Dong Zhongshu's theory has unavoidable difficulties that is both by the ChunQiu itself and related to the defects of the theory of Yin-Yang itself.
