What is the relationship between peasant uprising and traditional Confucian culture?

Peasant uprisings are actually concentrated reflections of the contradictions between the autocratic court and civil society.

The gist of the idea of ??"harmony without difference" advocated by Confucian culture is: first, things are different; second, different things complement each other; third, the whole situation is harmonious. When dealing with foreign ethnic groups, Confucianism placed this concept of "harmony" in specific ethnic relations, and the concept of "harmony without difference" emerged, which is very different from Western ethnic concepts. Today, the ancient concept of "harmony without uniformity" still has strong vitality and can still become a criterion and a goal for the development of modern international society. China's foreign policy of pursuing peaceful coexistence and seeking common ground while reserving differences is a clear manifestation of this idea. Therefore, "harmony without uniformity" is the basic condition for the survival of mankind as a whole, and it is also an important concept for maintaining world peace and stability.

The ideal of peace in the country’s domestic and foreign affairs: implement “benevolent government” and cultivate “literary ethics”.
