The Mandate of Heaven or Tian Ming (Chinese: 天命; pinyin: Tiānmìng; Wade–Giles: T'ien-ming) is a Chinese political and religious doctrine used since ancient times to justify the rule of the King or Emperor of China. According to this belief, heaven (天, Tian)—which embodies the natural order and will of the universe—bestows the mandate on a just ruler of China, the "Son of Heaven" of the "Celestial Empire". If a ruler was overthrown, this was interpreted as an indication that the ruler was unworthy, and had lost the mandate. It was also a common belief among citizens that natural disasters such as famine and flood were signs of heaven's displeasure with the ruler, so there would often be revolts following major disasters as citizens saw these as signs that the Mandate of Heaven had been withdrawn.[1]
A brief flow chart describing the dynastic cycles in Imperial China on claiming to withdrawing the Mandate of Heaven
The Mandate of Heaven does not require a legitimate ruler to be of noble birth, depending instead on the just and able performance of the rulers and their heirs. Dynasties such as the Han and Ming dynasties were founded by men of common origins. The concept is in some ways similar to the European concept of the divine right of kings; however, unlike the European concept, it does not in theory confer an unconditional right to rule, despite this being exactly the case in practicality. The Mandate would in theory be a preoccupation in a ruler's lifetime, when he would hold onto the Mandate and live according to Heavens. Intrinsic to the concept of the Mandate of Heaven was the right of rebellion against an unjust ruler. Chinese historians interpreted a successful revolt as evidence that Heaven had withdrawn its mandate from the ruler. Throughout Chinese history, times of poverty and natural disasters were often taken as signs that heaven considered the incumbent ruler unjust and thus in need of replacement. The Mandate of Heaven was often invoked by philosophers and scholars in China as a way to curtail the abuse of power by the ruler. While each dynasty was not the same, they each had a lineage that passed on the prospective ruler by order of generational descent or their priority of birth. Many emperors during the imperial times would optimize to have many sons who could be candidates to fill the position after the current ruler has died. In addition Heaven was thought to be of how a ruler's works and performance was, which reflected upon how favorable they would be to Heaven.
Hello there,
You could find the story of the prodigal son in Book of Luke chapter 15, which is in the Bible. The prodigal son asked his father for his share of the estate and left off to a distant country. There he wasted all his wealth in wild living.. and after he spent all what he got, there was a severe famine in that country, so he became of need of food.. etc. He was hired then by a fellow citizen who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. Since the prodigal son was very hungry, he began eating the pods that the pigs were eating! Then when he realized in what situation he was, he realized that the servants in his own fathers house are living more wealthier and healthier than he was at that time. So he figured out a message of repentance that he would tell his father, and settled on his way back home. Meanwhile his father was waiting for him every day, and looking into the distance trying to see if his son is coming back. One fine day when father was searching in the distance for a familiar face, he saw his son walking towards him. The father got so excited, he ran to his son and embraced him. He made a big feast for the homecoming of his son, for he said this son of mine was dead and now is alive! He gave him clean clothes, and they began to celebrate.
