region’s religions, we usually did some form of a writing assessment where you
compared and contrasted the religions. We did not do this with the East Asia
Unit, as you were working on the Summative Assessment One-Child Policy
Mini-Q. So for this Quiet Question, in the space below, please compare and
contrast the East Asian Philosophies’ Beliefs on the identified topics. Make
sure you have out your notes from the last lesson to help you do this.

• It is syncretic with Buddhism.

declared Japan’s official state

Emperor.

Day One: Tuesday, May 12, 2015
• Class: In China from ancient times until the 20th century, the people applied their
religious philosophies to their governments through the concept of the Mandate of
Heaven. This was established by the Zhou Dynasty in 1045 BC to justify the
overthrowing of the previous government.
•
• A mandate is a command. So the Zhou said that the deities in heaven ordered the
Zhou to overthrow the previous Shang ruler. According to the Mandate of Heaven,
the king and all later emperors ruled by divine right. Their power came from the
gods.
•
• In time, this theory was expanded. Rulers did not always act in the best interest of
the people, so the Mandate of Heaven gave the people the right to rebel and
overthrow the corrupt and ineffective ruler. The result was the dynastic cycle that
allowed the rise, rule, and then fall of a dynasty over a number of years. And the
Mandate of Heaven became the basis for the way the Chinese changed their rulers.
•
• This is illustrated in the following flowcharts. So when the Europeans came to China
under imperialism and exerted control over the current ineffective Chinese emperor,
the Mandate of Heaven came into play once again.
Day One: Tuesday, May 12, 2015
• With this lesson,
we will be
examining how
European
imperialism
affected the
history and
development of
China. Pay close
attention to the
similarities and
patterns as you
think about what
we learned about
Western
Imperialism in
Africa and South
Asia!

propaganda strategies are and how they are used.
