Detailed explanation-1: -The Mandate of Heaven (Tianming), also known as Heaven’s Mandate, was the divine source of authority and the right to rule of China’s early kings and emperors. The ancient god or divine force known as Heaven or Sky had selected this particular individual to rule on its behalf on earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Zhou told people that the gods in heaven had told them that they were to rule. This was called “The Mandate of Heaven", heaven’s orders. The Chou added that the gods had warned them that they would only rule as long as they were good rulers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chinese rulers were traditionally referred to as Son of Heaven (tianzi), and their authority was believed to emanate from tian. Beginning in the Zhou dynasty, sovereignty was explained by the concept of the mandate of heaven (tianming). This was a grant of authority that depended not on divine right but on virtue.
