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.

How did the Indian Appropriations Act of 1885 effect native americans
frozen [14]
The <span>Indian Appropriations Act of 1885 was a law that stated Native Americans weren't their own group of people but Americans. It also created reservations. This affected the Native Americans in a positive way because it created reservations. It said that certain land publicly belonged to Native Americans only. This was a good thing because Native American and settler tension was increasing because settlers were known to over-step their boundaries (no pun intended)</span>
