The Qin dynasty lost the Mandate of Heaven primarily through uprisings caused by the harsh policies of Legalism. The heavy taxation, forced labor, and strict laws imposed by the Qin government led to widespread dissatisfaction and rebellion among the populace, ultimately contributing to the dynasty's downfall. While natural disasters and famines also played a role, the immediate trigger for their loss of legitimacy was largely due to internal strife and revolt against their oppressive rule.
