The first dynasty recorded in Chinese history was the Xia Dynasty, the mysterious nature of this dynasty has not been fully discovered by us until today, and there is a lot of controversy over the issue of the Xia Dynasty, because the dynasty of the Chinese is not recognized in the international community, and the problem is that the specific bronze relics and writings of the Xia Dynasty and the capital of the Xia Dynasty as a state cannot be found. This dynasty has maintained a history of almost four hundred years in Chinese history, and its main scope of activity is in the central plains of today's Henan.
The Shang Dynasty is an exception in the history of China, the history of our country has always been based on agricultural civilization as the main body, but the founder of the Shang Dynasty is from the eastern tribes, in this era, the commercial activities of the Chinese are particularly prosperous, the Shang King did not deliberately favor agriculture or commerce, the shang dynasty society in the highest status is the royal family and sacrificial shamans, the Shang Dynasty period of the text oracle is widely regarded as the earliest script in Chinese history.
Today, the deciphering of oracle bones has become a major event for Chinese archaeologists. The scope of rule during the Shang Dynasty was greatly expanded compared with the Xia Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty not only integrated the Huaxia in the Central Plains, but also extended its influence to the present-day Yangtze River Plain, and it was at what time that the hatred with the Chu people was formed.
The Zhou Dynasty was a typical agricultural civilization country, and their victory had been confirmed by chance today, because at that time, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, the King of Shang, led the most elite army of the Shang Dynasty to fight against Dongyi in order to obtain enough slaves, but no one thought that Ji Fa, the king of Zhou Wu, took the capital of the Shang Dynasty with eight hundred princes to capture the capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge City, and finally the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty and began to Chinese agricultural civilization for nearly three thousand years.
Many things in traditional Chinese culture were established in the Zhou Dynasty, like the Zhou Dynasty in order to maintain the country and the implementation of the sub-feudal system, this system has been in use until the Ming Dynasty, like the Zhou Li is the earliest origin of the Chinese etiquette system, now Chinese politeness is actually thanks to the Zhou Gongdan of that year, the zhou dynasty period of the text is mainly carved on the bronze "golden text". The entire Zhou Dynasty was divided into two parts: Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou.
The history of the Eastern Zhou Is far more wonderful than the Western Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou is the most active era of Chinese ideology and culture, the Confucian, Mojia, Taoist, and Legalist ideas in this era began to spring up like mushrooms, becoming the Chinese used for more than two thousand years of governing ideology in later generations, the hundred schools of thought have become the spokesman of this era, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, but whoever is the boss must respect the Son of Heaven, and can only call himself the overlord under the banner of the Son of Heaven. The overlord is actually to maintain the order of the whole world in place of the Son of Heaven.
Qin Dynasty is the first real feudal dynasty in Chinese history, the past feudal dynasty refers to the Zhou Dynasty began to implement the sub-feudal system, under the sub-feudal system of China is full of princely states, and the Qin Dynasty is the unity of the world, the whole of China only has a state of Qin, everyone uses the same text called XiaoZhuan, is made by the Qin Dynasty Minister Li Si spent countless painstaking efforts to improve it, his predecessor is called the Great Seal. It is one of the representative scripts of the Zhou Dynasty.
The currency used by the people of the Qin Dynasty was called Qin Ban Two, the shape system was the outer circle and the inner square, and the copper coins that were used for more than two thousand years Chinese later began with the official currency of the Qin State. Even today's China is still using coins as a kind of auxiliary currency in the monetary system, the only difference is that today's coins have long lost the essence of the qin and half of the two outer circles and the inner circle.
The traffic during the Qin Dynasty has been greatly improved compared with the previous dynasty, and the Qin Straight Road ordered by Qin Shi Huang is like a highway leading to the major cities in the world, and the land of Guanzhong is full of hydraulic projects, such as Zheng Guoqu and Dujiangyan. The people lived a prosperous life, and the foreign wars were victorious one after another, but the wrong heir was chosen later and subverted by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
The Han Dynasty was a great dynasty that established our national title, and in this dynasty, Liu Bang's success really opened up the example of the people being the Son of Heaven, they inherited most of the political and military system of the Qin Dynasty, but the most fierce people in the Black Qin Dynasty were also the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty established The Confucian thought after Dong Zhongshu's transformation as China's external ruling ideology from the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is essentially a legalist, and as for why, it can only be said that everyone understands it. In the foreign war, after the accumulation of five generations of monarchs of Han Gaozu, Han Huidi, Lü Hou, Han Wendi, and Han Jingdi, the Era of Emperor Wu of Han restored to the strength of the Qin Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu many times, and established the content on the Dinghu Monument in the era of Emperor Zhao of Han.
In the middle, after experiencing the farce of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu once again revived the Han Dynasty, followed by the magnificent capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the three divisions of the world of the Three Kingdoms. No one expected that in the end, Sima Yi's descendants would unify China, but this unification did not last long before it was disturbed by the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and even the Central Plains fell. Behind it was the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which changed one emperor and dynasty after another, and never restored the Central Plains and the long-lost Chang'an.
The Sui Dynasty was a great unified dynasty that reunified the world after hundreds of years of turmoil in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he expelled the Hu people in the northern region, brought hope for revival to the Central Plains, and created the imperial examination system in the hands of the two generations of monarchs of the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Wen Emperor, so that the people at the bottom had a chance to transcend their status. The Sui-Tang Grand Canal has coordinated the economies of the north and south of China into one, and no one can be separated from anyone from now on!
The founder of the Tang Dynasty is Li Yuan, but the person who carried it forward is Li Shimin, the change of Xuanwumen proves that it is not the first-born system that is the best, the emperor should be a person with both moral integrity and ability to do it, Zhenguan Shengshi is synonymous with that era, the cooperation between kings and subjects is passed on as a good story, and then it is the peak of the ancient Chinese society Kaiyuan Shengshi.
All kinds of poets, Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, He Zhizhang, Wang Changling, countless, they were born with the prosperous world, they also died with the prosperous world, the China of this era is not only the center of the eastern world, but also the center of the whole world, many people from other countries are not far away to come to the Tang, just to gamble on the nighttime prosperity of Chang'an City, but all this ended in the chaos of Anshi, and then the struggle and sinking of the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years.
After the Song Dynasty experienced five generations of emperors like a farce, they began to distrust the warriors, and the entire Song Dynasty was self-destructing martial arts, confining itself to the basic plate of the traditional Central Plains, and even the old frontiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties were not restored, in the words of Song Zhenzong, as long as foreign wars are not cut off, it is a victory, what is the indemnity?
The Jingkang Rebellion cut off the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, and when the Northern Song Dynasty, which was at its peak in economy and culture in the past, became the past, the Southern Song Dynasty even killed Yue Fei, the head of its own Zhongxing Four Generals, on trumped-up charges, and it is no wonder that when the Mongols were difficult to invade, they could only be forced to jump into the sea and die together with 100,000 monarchs!
The Yuan Dynasty is the largest dynasty in Chinese history, the farthest time once hit the east coast of Eastern Europe and Egypt, but the glory ended here, this period is the trough of the Han people, this era has no examination system, this era is very strange, Chinese civilization seems to be regressing, time is extending, but the entire Yuan Dynasty does not have a decent prosperity as a support.
The Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty of the Han people in Chinese history, because he was sandwiched between the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, was destined to be remembered fiercely, this dynasty once restored to the strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were seven times of Zheng He's majesty in the West, there was the grandeur of Zhu Di's five conquests of Mongolia, the revival of The Chinese crown, the re-establishment of the imperial examination system, Zhu Yuanzhang was based on the people, established the characteristics belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but this era also provided a large number of civilian official groups, infighting consumed the strength of the Ming Dynasty, making the final helpless end.
The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in Chinese history, they should thank Wu Sangui for opening the Shanhaiguan for them, otherwise they really did not have so easy to enter the customs, after entering the customs, the Qing Dynasty began to unify the process of unifying the world, first eliminated the Southern Ming, three large armies conquered the northwestern Geldan, so that the western region was returned to China, against the Northern Capital Russians also dared to fight, defended China's last military glory.
It is said that the Qing Dynasty from the beginning of Kangxi to the end of Qianlong has a prosperous era of more than a hundred years, this is the Chinese dynasty of the golden age of the dynasty occupied half of the dynasty, but after the prosperity is the end of the world, the Opium War a cannon sound, the Qing Dynasty is how ye can not win the war, step by step fell into it, the first Opium War, the second Opium War, the burning of the Yuanmingyuan, the Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Power Alliance invasion of China, and countless land-cutting indemnities are the legacy left to us in the later period of the Qing Dynasty. When it was impossible to clean up, it was the abdication of emperor Xuantong that ended this vicissitudes of life.
