Beginning around the end of the 1st century BCE, says Miura (2007:1266), "the idea spread that a zhenren who had received the Heavenly Mandate (tianming 天命) would appear to renew the world."
Dimulai sekitar akhir abad pertama SM, Miura (2007:1266) berkata, "ide mengenai bahwa seorang zhenren yang telah memperoleh Mandat Surga (tianming 天命) akan muncul untuk memperbaharui dunia telah tersebar."
