So they went down to Greenly Colorado

The Mandate of Heaven (Chinese: 天命; pinyin: Tiānmìng) is a traditional Chinese philosophical concept concerning the legitimacy of rulers. It is similar to the European concept of the divine right of kings‚ in that both sought to legitimize rule from divine approval; however‚ unlike the divine right of kings‚ the Mandate of Heaven is predicated on the conduct of the ruler in question.
