Dong Zhongshu, a scholar who lived during the Han dynasty in China, wrote the following: Heaven’s constant desire is to love and bring benefit, its task to nurture. Spring, fall, winter, and summer are the instruments it uses. The king also makes loving and bringing benefit his constant desire and his task is to bring peace and happiness to his age. Love and hate, joy and anger, are the instruments he uses. His love, hate, joy, and anger are like Heaven’s seasons. It is through changes in temperature that things are transformed and completed. If Heaven produces these plants and animals in the right season, then the year will be one of abundance, but if at the wrong time, then the year will be a bad one.

According to Dong Zhongshu, what/who is to blame for chaos?

The following excerpt comes from a hymn in the collection of the Rig Veda, translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896), Hymn XC. When they divided *Puruṣa how many portions did they make? What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet? The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rājanya made. His thighs became the Vaiśya, from his feet the Śūdra was produced. (*a deity that the gods sacrificed to create the world) The hymn explains the creation of different
