罪己诏是中国古代君主专制时代帝王们特有的一种自省表演文化。每当天灾频发人祸迭出之季、王朝政权朝不保夕风雨飘摇之时,帝王们穷途末路无计可施之际,便掣出罪己诏这一绝招糊弄天下,希冀能够消除民怨,招摇过市,成为他们笼络人心,拯救危难的一种手段,以期维持旧有政权不倒,因而具有很大的欺骗性。当然这里也不能绝然排除一些已有自知之明的帝王在反思之后对自身过错与失败的反省忏悔和自我检讨以及对古典传统正道治统的重新认可。 Sin is a self-examination performance culture unique to emperors in ancient Chinese monarchy. Whenever natural disasters occur frequently and man-made disasters come and go, the imperial regimes are precariously precarious and unstable. When the imperialists are at a dead end, they will not be allowed to do so. They hope that they will eliminate their grievances and swerve through the market and become the people they love and rescue the crisis As a means to maintain the old regime does not fall, which is very deceptive. Of course, there is no way to rule out the remorse and self-review of some of the mistakes and failures that self-known emperors once reconsidered, and the re-recognition of the orthodox tradition of classical tradition.
