Quotes by Bryan W. Van Norden  (?)

“These passages don’t just lay out a cyclic view of history, they specify a philosophy of history that explains those cycles. The founder of a dynasty is given a mandate (mìng ) to rule by Heaven (tiān ).”
Bryan W. Van Norden, Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy

“Even in modern Chinese, the word for “revolution” (as in “Cultural Revolution”) is gémìng , which is literally “stripping of the mandate.”
Bryan W. Van Norden, Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy

“would that turtle rather have its bones treasured in death, or be alive dragging its tail in the mud? … Go! I’ll keep my tail in the mud, too” (247). So Zhuangzi recommends that we do not seek prominence.”
Bryan W. Van Norden, Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy
