“T’ien Ming”

The Mandate of Heaven

The leader must lead by ability and

virtue.

The dynasty's leadership must be

justified by succeeding generations.

The mandate could be revoked by

negligence and abuse; the will of

the people was important.

The

Dynastic

Cycle

A new dynasty

comes to power.

Lives of common

people improved;

taxes reduced;

farming encouraged.

Problems begin

(extensive wars,

invasions, etc.)

Taxes increase;

men forced to

work for army.

Farming neglected.

Govt. increases

spending;

corruption.

Droughts,

floods,

famines occur.

Poor lose

respect for govt.

They join rebels

& attack landlords.

Rebel bands find

strong leader who

unites them.

Attack the emperor.

Emperor is

defeated !!

The emperor

reforms the govt.

& makes it more

efficient.

Start here

When Zhou conquered Shang, leaders worried Chinese people would not accept them

Introduced idea they ruled by

Mandate of Heaven (

天命

)

Gods would support a just ruler and not allow anyone corrupt to hold power

Government

The Zhou (

)Dynasty (1027-256 BC)

Zhou said Shang overthrown because they lost gods’ favor

Later rulers used Mandate of Heaven to explain

dynastic cycle

, rise and fall of dynasties in China

If dynasty lost power, it obviously had become corrupt
