Ming yun ( Chinese: 命運) is a concept of the personal life and destiny in the Chinese folk religion. [1] Ming means 'life', ' right', or 'destiny', and yun means 'circumstance' or 'individual choice'. Mìng is given and influenced by Tian 'heaven', akin to the Mandate of Heaven of monarchs as identified by Mencius. [2] Ming yun is thus perceived as being both fixed, flexible, and open-ended. [3]
