Any Signs in the Heavens for the fall of the Lee Dynasty?

[Force 136]

The Qing believed they were destined to rule forever........

Upon the death of the Empress Dowager, young prince Pu Yi was enthroned. During the ceremony, he cried loudly..... then someone said to him : " It would be over soon!"

This statement proved to be prophetic....... the Empire collapsed not long after the coronation.......

Look out for signs in the Heavens for the fall of the Lee Dynasty........

the drought is a sign that the PAP has lost the Mandate of Heaven. the collapse of the Ming Dynasty started with a serious drought in Henan. our Opposition should start propagandising this analogy to the people.

ok what you say hold some truth:
ancient text extracted:
The "Mandate of Heaven" is Shown in Rainfall

Chinese philosophers since the Zhou Dynasty (1122–256 B.C.) have theorized that emperors receive the "Mandate of Heaven," or support from the gods, if they rule wisely and justly. When an emperor becomes a tyrant, the Mandate is revoked and the dynasty falls.

This theory kept emperors from wielding unlimited power, and provided a handy rationalization for any army general or nobleman who sought to overthrow the emperor and establish a new dynasty of his own.

Now, it seems, scientific evidence indicates that the Mandate of Heaven literally fell from the sky - in the form of rainfall.

Cycles of Dryness

The stalagmite reveals that the monsoon rains fell off substantially between about 860 and 930 A.D. Another decades-long dry spell hit between 1340 and 1380 A.D., and a third from 1580 to 1640 A.D.

Monsoon rains that had moved north from the Indian Ocean no longer made it to much of central and northern China, and the land grew parched. This spelled big trouble for the emperors.

Tang power was dealt a death-blow in the year 873 A.D., when a horrific drought and famine swept China. Agricultural production, already decreased in recent years by the lack of rain, fell by more than half. People and livestock starved.

Clearly, the Tang Dynasty was losing the Mandate of Heaven.

The Fall of the Yuan Dynasty

According to the evidence from Wanxiang Cave, the monsoons failed.
the late Yuan emperors were beset by drought, famine, rampant crime, and civil unrest.

The Fall of the Ming Dynasty

Trouble began for the Ming during the reign of the Wanli Emperor, who ruled from 1572 to 1620 (a span that includes much of the driest period). China was beset by the same cold, dry weather that afflicted Europe; this was known as the "Little Ice Age."

Conclusion
The historical and environmental records are aligned to a truly remarkable degree in China.
Each time the monsoons failed, China's people began to starve. After all, rice is the staple food of China, and it is a very water-dependent crop.

Soon, the peasants rose up, marched on and seized the capital, and brought the ruling emperors down. In most cases, though, military leaders from the aristocracy founded the next dynasty, not the leaders of the peasant armies.

These people were merely replacing one set of chains with another. Being a slave to the Ming emperors (Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang were the only two founding emperors who led peasant armies) is no different from being one to the Yuan. Democracy is still the best out of various options. Drought or flood, ignorant and ball-less citizens are the bane of any society.

[HTOLAS]

Drought was only one of the signs. Its antithesis, floods were another, as was civil unrest (read 'riots').
