Ancient Chinese kings believed that they had been chosen by the gods to rule. They called this the Mandate of Heaven. If a king was cruel or unjust, this right could be taken away and given to another leader. The Shang Dynasty is one of the earliest Chinese dynasties historians have studied. Shang culture dates back to around 1750 BCE, when the Chinese were beginning to live in cities. During the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese worked with bronze tools, made beautiful objects out of jade stone and developed a written language. The Chinese alphabet doesn't use letters to stand for the sounds of different words like the Latin alphabet; instead, it uses characters that represent words. This makes it easier to communicate with people who pronounce the same words differently. For example, the cities Peking and Beijing are actually the same place, China’s capital. It has two names in English because there are different ways of pronouncing the word in Chinese.
According to the Mandate of Heaven,
A
Chinese kings would rule in Heaven after they died.
B
Chinese kings had the divine right to create the alphabet.
C
Chinese kings had a god-given right to rule that could never be taken away.
D
