Heaven is the core concept of Chinese culture,including the natural order, moral order and destiny to dominate. Belief in Heaven is an important feature of the Chinese culture and the basis of the spiritual principles and the legitimacy of the ancient imperial Confucian orthodoxy. It has a profound impact on the folk customs and becomes the common psychology of the Chinese people. Belief in Heaven has an important values for China's modernization process in the “rule of law, human rights, freedom, equality, harmony”.
