### Noun

暴政
* tyranny; tyrannical government; despotism
    From: The Book of Rites, Chapter "Conduct of the Scholar", circa 4th - 2nd B.C.E.
    Rú yǒu zhōngxìn yǐ wèi jiǎzhòu, lǐyì yǐ wèi gānlǔ; dài rén ér xíng, bào yì ér chù, suī yǒu bàozhèng, bù gèng qí suǒ. Qí zì lì yǒu rú cǐ zhě. [Pinyin]
    The scholar considers leal-heartedness and good faith to be his coat-of-mail and helmet; propriety and righteousness to be his shield and buckler; he walks along, bearing aloft over his head benevolence; he dwells, holding righteousness in his arms before him; the government may be violently oppressive, but he does not change his course - such is the way in which he maintains himself.
