Answer 1

The Mandate of Heaven is an important idea in ancient China that says a ruler's right to govern comes from the heavens or the gods. If a ruler is fair and does a good job, the people will support them, but if the ruler is bad or corrupt, they can lose this blessing. This concept also meant that if a dynasty lost the Mandate of Heaven, it was seen as okay for the people to overthrow them and choose a new ruler.
