From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Tian (Pinyin Tiān) is the Chinese term for heaven. As such, it holds an important place in many Chinese belief systems such as Mohism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Tian sometimes seems to be God itself, or Heaven, or the entire celestial bureaucracy. Therefore, it is often difficult to ascertain whether Tian is being used to mean a personal force or an impersonal one.
