《史记·八书·天官书》
对付天变的办法最好的是修德，其次是改革政事，再其次是就事论事，有危事才加以挽救，又其次是对神行礼以禳除灾害，最下者是不采取任何措施。
太上修德，其次修政，其次修救，其次修禳，正下无之。
The best way to deal with celestial changes is to cultivate virtue, followed by reforming the government, followed by addressing it on a case-by-case basis, saving the situation only when it is in imminent danger, followed by performing rituals to the deities to eliminate disasters, and refraining from taking any action as the last resort.
