王应麟 / Wang Yinglin

王应麟 / Wang Yinglin appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀（1） as the later scholar asked to interpret the Guo mountain landslide recorded under 周安王. The episode says Wang cites 《左传》’s “国主山川” idea and reads the mountain collapse as an omen tied to 魏国’s future state disaster.

The page is source-scoped. Wang matters here because he makes visible a traditional historical habit: natural events can be read as politically meaningful signs, especially when linked to a state’s mountains, rivers, and legitimacy.
