Even before the first dynasties, China was interested in the Great Story of the Universe; Heaven watchers observed the movement of heavenly bodies. Cosmology and then astronomy, which have become state sciences, the sovereigns (the Sons of Heaven) are then the guarantors of harmony between Heaven, Earth and men.
