'''Chinese Theocracy''' (or '''Chinese Folk Theocracy''') is an Authoritarian Center ideology that believes that the Chinese Folk Religion should be the state religion. The state would be ruled by an emperor. The emperor's responsibilities include protecting the citizens, ensuring fair taxation, rebuilding infrastructure, and treating the people fairly. Failure to do so may result in the loss of the mandate of heaven, leading to the potential overthrow of the leader.
 
==History==
According to the Chinese Folk Religion the ideology would have started with the Heavenly Sovereign but secularly it would have started with the unification of China by the emperor Qin Shi Huang where the title of son of heaven and the mandate of heaven system started. Chinese Theocracy would be the ideology of China for 2133 years (more or less) until 1912 where the emperor resigned and [[File:3princ-col.png]] [[Tridemism]] took over. While people in China and some other countries still believe in the religion, nowadays the theocracy hasn't been very relevant.
 
==Beliefs==
* Tian (天): The concept of Heaven
* Ling (灵): The inchoate order of creation, that is the "medium" of the bivalency constituted by the opposite forces of the universe (Yin and Yang)
* Ying and Yang (阴阳): It's a concept of dualism, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another
* Ming Yun (命运): The concept of the personal life and destiny
* Bao Ying (报应): The concept of cosmic and moral reciprocity 
* Shen (神): Gods and Spirits that are intimately involved in the affairs of the world
* Xian Ling (显灵): The notion of a numinous, sacred presence of a god or gods
* Yuanfen (缘分): Destiny, luck as conditioned by one's past
* Wu (悟): The concept of awareness, consciousness, or spiritual enlightenment
* Mandate of Heaven (天命): Heaven has given the emperor the right to rule but can lose it if he over taxes civilians, stops protecting the people, lets infrastructure decay, and treats people unfairly.
