"The Mandate of Heaven"
(media.scored.co)
> The Mandate of Heaven was a Chinese philosophical and political concept that explained the legitimacy of rule by a dynasty. It asserted that heaven granted emperors the right to rule based on their virtue and ability to govern justly. If an emperor became corrupt or lost the support of the people, natural disasters or rebellions would signal that the Mandate had been lost, and a new dynasty could legitimately seize power.
