Wizards, Rulers, the Sages individually represent the symbol of the people, who understand clearly and achieve highly and who are formed from the three ranges: “ghosts and gods,” “human beings,” and “the heaven and the earth.” The Rulers of pre-historic time used to be an original type with the Trinity- the witzard, the Ruler and the Sage. Therefore, the character of the heavenly mandate that the Confucianists inherit and continue from the Trinity is actually a typical transformation. In other words, it is the procesure of transformation from “King of human beings” to “King of gods” and then finally to “King of the sanits” The implication of “Be aware of the Mandate of Heaven” from Confucius shows deeply the feature of “life” in “nature” and “mormal”, it may be inspired from the Heaven, gods, and human beings at the same time and it uses the understanding of mornal of life to replace the “spirit” from the wizards. This essay will not only state the processure of critic inheritance and creative development done by the Confucianists from the wizards, the emporers and the sanits but emphasize “the outstanding of moral and rational glory” in the Chinese Axial Period is not the result of weakness and changing of divine heaven mandate tradition but the creative response to multiple compatibility
