As long as the king did not govern well, Heaven would send sign of its displeasure, such as earthquakes and floods. When the king lost the support of Heaven, others had the right to overthrow him. The Zhou and later groups believed in the Mandate of Heaven. Between about 770 and 453 BCE, a number of small states often quarreled with one another.
