Question: How did the Chinese interpret their divine power?

Answer: The Chinese interpreted their divine power by believing that their power was something temporary and they would base this on signs. The Chinese would look for signs that could indicate that the dynasty had lost heavens mandate.  Sometimes these signs were very common events that could easily be interpreted as exaggeration.

Explanation: The Mandate of Heaven, also known as ''Tian Ming'', is a Chinese political and religious doctrine and it is used since ancient times. It justifies the rule of the King or Emperor of China and it is similar to the European's concept of the divine right of kings. Their concept of divine power had many different interpretations. Some were very extreme, for example: If a ruler was overthrown, it was interpreted as a sign from above that the ruler was unworthy to mandate. Also, if a natural disaster such as famine and flood were to occur, it was very common to believe that these were signs of heaven's displeasure with the King or Emperor.

amm1812

Answer:

3. Expands the U.S. from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean

Explanation:

In the 1800s, many hoped for a better life farther west. Exciting images persuaded people to make the tough journey. The painting “American Progress” is one example. It supports the idea of Manifest Destiny, a phrase first written in 1845 by journalist John L. O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan believed that God wanted Americans to expand their nation to the Pacific Ocean. Manifest Destiny means Obvious Purpose.  Even though O'Sullivan wrote Manifest Destiny, the idea was already in existence.

"There were many empires that rose and fell between 2300 B.C. and 334 B.C. Write a brief essay that compares and contrasts the B
inysia [295]

Answer:

We can list as similarities between these two empires their location, the way how they built their cities, and the period they build their empires. The differences, however, are more visible. For the differences, we can separate into two points: the government and the war practices.

Explanation:

The Babylonians were harsh with their laws. An example of this point is the Code of Hammurabi. Dated from around the year 1700 BC, this law agreement was based on the lex talionis, or "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth". The violence of these laws is one of the main differences between Babylonians and Hittites.

The Hittites Law Code was more complex and consistent. This is because of their nomadism, and especially because they had the precept to capture their enemies. So, their laws must be range. We can name their laws based on the concept of causes, which means, your actions would be punished according to their strength. However, there was no death penalty (capital punishment), and many of the crimes were solved trough tax payments or fines.

When it comes to war, the Babylonians were not used to combat. Even if they had an army and the pretense idea of expansion, they were closer to the research and scholar world. Many astronomical discoveries were proceeded by the Babylonians. On the other hand, Hittites were warriors.
