Really excellent! Could you kindly include some dates, for Duke of Zhou, for example. Thanks, Nancy Nancy Sculerati MD 09:44, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks! How does it look now?--Yim Kai-mun 10:07, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Shouldn't the title be "Mandate of Heaven"? And whynot proceed from the Wikipedia version? Andres Luure 09:53, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Yep, amended the typo error. Thanks for highlighting. As for wiki...I decided to re-write since I'd already written an article.--Yim Kai-mun 10:04, 31 January 2007 (CST)

I wonder about the 5,000 years in the second sentence. The phrase X thousand years of Chinese history is used with various values of X, and there's no need here to get into disputes over that. But are there really records from well back into the Neolithic, 2,000 years before the Duke of Zhou, to support such antiquity? Perhaps a "traditionally considered to be" sort of hedge would work here? Daniel Drake 16:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
