God
mandate of heaven
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.
The "Mandate of Heaven" is an ancient Chinese philosophical concept in ancient times. It determines whether an emperor of China is capable to rule and if the chosen emperor is not capable of it, then the emperor loses its rights to be an emperor.
