"...Dr. Sun Xiaochun and others consider the roles of astronomy and astrology in China as they relate to the Mandate of Heaven: the belief that the power to rule derived from the power to predict the future.

For 3,000 years--until the fall of the last emperor, early in the 20th century--the Mandate was the key to power"--Container.
