Our king of Shang brilliantly displayed his sagely prowess; for oppression he substituted his generous gentleness; and the millions of the people gave him their hearts.

 Yijing Dao - Calling crane in the shade
Some diehards still refer to the text as 'Yi King', which often reflects that their interest stems from the works of Aleister Crowley, who used the James Legge translation (Peking was always pronounced Beijing in China).
To answer this I drew a comparison with the Daodejing and said that the imperative informing that text is clearly the Dao, whereas in the Yijing it is Tianming, the Mandate of Heaven.
What the Mandate is, beyond the power by which kings and emperors of China ruled, is harder to say, but it can be understood by (revealed to) the individual experientially after long study and practice of the Book of Changes.
