Heaven is high and the emperor is far away is a Chinese proverb thought to have originated from Zhejiang during the Yuan dynasty. The Chinese Central Government in Beijing exercises little direct oversight on the affairs of lower-level governments, allowing much regional autonomy in the country. The proverb has thus come to generally mean that central authorities have little influence over local affairs, and it is often used in reference to corruption. The original variation, "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away", is also still heard (山高皇帝远).
