Abstract: In the XVI–XVIII centuries, Confucian scientists talked about the sky, the heavenly mandate not only to designate the sky as a force that created all life and determining the destiny of all phenomena, but also to strengthen the royal power. According to them the heaven was credited with omnipotence, the ability to determine the life and fate of every person, whether it is luck or adversity - everything is set by the sky. This is especially characteristic of the followers of the Confucian doctrine of the 16th-18th century.
