Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -According to this theory, each dynasty of China rises to a political, cultural, and economic peak and then, because of moral corruption, declines, loses the Mandate of Heaven, and falls, only to be replaced by a new dynasty. The cycle then repeats under a surface pattern of repetitive motifs.
Detailed explanation-2: -This cycle continued through the history of China. In 1644, the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) lost the Mandate and was overthrown by Li Zicheng’s rebel forces. A shepherd by trade, Li Zicheng ruled for just two years before he was in turn ousted by the Manchus, who founded the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
