In order to be able to ''use heaven to suppress the sage,'' Wang Mang promoted the ''unification of a wide spectrum of opinions'' in tuchen related fields, thereby completing the mutual production of the Five Elements in determining regime legitimation and the strengthening of the fuming verification system, which honored the Hetu and Luoshu as ''classical'' tuchen texts. Wang eventually used heavenly signs and fuming to legitimate his ascension to the throne. Subsequently, the supporters of the Han challenged Wang's claims by combining heaven and the sage, arguing that ''the Lutu is the text of heaven and the Chunqiu is the will of the sage.'' This position shifted the tuchen field from one purely based in heaven to one supplemented by references to the sage. The results of this transformation can be seen in the ''secret classics of Confucius,'' which integrated heavenly signs and the sagely will, as well as in the prophecies on the rise and fall of the Han that were tied to the capture of a qilin during the western hunt. The various absurd remarks in Gongsun Shu's proclamation during the 6th year of the Jianwu reign period could not be completely counterattacked from the aspect of chenji and further required the perspective of jingyi. This resulted in Emperor Guangwu taking time at the imperial academy to ''discourse on jingyi and elucidate tuchen'' in order to ensure a correct understanding of these terms. It also led to the merger of jing and chen, which marked the beginning of the concept of jingchen. While various texts on jingchen from jingyi schools sought compatibility with tuchen, they also shared a notable common ground; i.e., they were devoted to justifying the saying that ''Confucius recognized the Han as chiming and laid down a system for it.'' They argued that the Yan Han legitimation was recognized by both ''heavenly signs and the sage's will.'' The Confucian scholars making these claims reflected the style found in the Confucian ethical code and the classics. |
