Question

Explain how the Qin dynasty fits the model of the dynastic cycle. Be sure to include the term “mandate of heaven” in your explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

The Qing dynasty, officially the Great Qing was the last imperial dynasty of China. It was established in 1636, and ruled China proper from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China.

When the conquering Manchus overthrew the reigning Ming dynasty and established the Qing dynasty in 1644, they announced that the Ming had lost the Mandate of Heaven. ... The Qing buttressed their own claim to the Mandate by acknowledging the Ming's legitimate claim to it in the past.
