The Mandate of Heaven
In China, the belief that the god of the sky has the right to rule is known as the Mandate of Heaven

Ancient China's Government was a Monarchy.
if you are talking about from the 1200-1500, they were governed by emperors who had the mandate of heaven. the mandate of heaven is when the emperor claimed to be sent from god to rule the people.
Because they were Mandate of Heaven
The Mandate of Heaven gave emperors in China the divine right to rule based on their ability to rule justly. In this way, the government of ancient China was able to remove incompetent or tyrannical rulers and keep those who were good and fair.
The mandate of heaven is an ancient Chinese belief that the emperor was appointed by heaven to rule the people. According to the mandate of heaven, only just rulers are appointed and when a ruler becomes unjust, heaven supports revolts against them.
The emperor ruled the country and was believed to be the Son of Heaven. However, he was only the Son of Heaven IF he had the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven was on the people's side. If the people liked the emperor, he had the Mandate of Heaven. If the people weren't pleased with the emperor, his Mandate of Heaven would be lost and the people would revolt. The emperor had a cabinet. Under him would be the governors and other large posts, followed by the small posts.
