The Zhou rulers of China adopted the political idea of rule by way of a mandate from heaven. Discuss this concept and its implementation. Did it succeed?

You will have 4 questions to answer in short essay format.

Each will require you to properly cite at least one example from our textbook readings, but you are welcome to use other examples from properly cited academic sources. Academically appropriate sources must be used to receive credit for your answer. (Avoid encyclopedias, Wikipedia, etc). For detailed info. on academic sources, visit- http://owll.massey.ac.nz/academic-writing/identifying-academic-sources.php

Be sure you cite all sources correctly in Chicago format.

Address each question in at least 150 words, but no more than 500 words (excluding citations)

Only thing I require for this is that each question gets one source and each question is labeled so I can distinguish where each question starts and ends. Below this are the 4 questions I need answered.

1) Discuss the competing early philosophies of China, both before and after Confucianism. What were the differences? Who were the leading proponents of each?

2) The Zhou rulers of China adopted the political idea of rule by way of a mandate from heaven. Discuss this concept and its implementation. Did it succeed?

3)Discuss the achievements of the early Ming Dynasty.

4) When, how and why were the Mongols able to conquer China? What was the impact of this invasion to China?
