i don't know what the mandate of heaven is?
Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
I think this "mandate of heaven" is one of the most important concepts in China augmented by the Chou Dynasty. This is a political - social philosophy that states the fundamental Chinese explanation for the success and failure of the monarch.
Best of luck,
Larry
