China is a country with five thousand years of civilization, in these five thousand years of inheritance, China has not appeared cultural faults, China is also the only country of the four major civilizations that have not appeared cultural faults, but Chinese history in addition to the Shang Dynasty has a Yin Shang culture, the history of the Xia Dynasty has always been a mystery.
It is generally believed that the Xia Dynasty was passed down for 14 generations, lasted for 471 years, and was later destroyed by the Shang, but regarding the Xia Dynasty, China has not excavated the relevant Xia Wenhua ruins for the time being, most of which are recorded in the history books, according to the "History of Xia Benji" and the "Great Dai Li Ji • Imperial Lineage", the history of the Xia Dynasty began after the Emperor.
Huan Huan was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, because of the merits of assisting Shao Hao, he was sealed in Gaoyang, after Shao Hao's death, Huan Huan and Gonggong competed for the throne, Gonggong was defeated, Gonggong became the lord of the world, removed these legends, the earliest in the "Chinese Zhou Yu" recorded that the members of the Xia clan were Cang.
Cang, from 2037 BC to 2029 BC is the leader of the Chongshi tribe in the Zhongyue Song Mountains on the south bank of the river, in the Yao Shun period, Cang and gonggong successively launched an attack on Yao Shun, but all failed, after the death of The Cang, it was passed to Yu, in the "History of Xia Benji" recorded, Dayu Zhishui three times through the door and did not enter.
After Dayu's death, he passed the throne to Yi, but Yi did not get the royal power, was seized by Qi, in the ancient book "Bamboo Book Chronicle" recorded, after Yi took the throne, Qi killed Yi and seized the throne, in order to quell the dissatisfaction of the major tribes, Qi launched a war, from then on "gong tianxia" became the "family world", the history of the Xia Dynasty, basically everyone Chinese imagined, then the West is really the same as the internet circulating, do not recognize the Xia Dynasty?
In the American high school textbook GlencoeWorld History (World History), the Xia Dynasty is described as follows: "Chinese historians traditionally trace Chinese civilization back to the Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago, and know very little about this dynasty, and the second dynasty entered the Shang Dynasty."
In the middle school textbook, there is very little introduction to the history of the Xia Dynasty, more ink is introduced to the Shang Dynasty period, and in the textbook of Harvard University in the United States, more about the Xia Dynasty, WordHistory, Pattern ofInteraction says that long before the Sumerians formed tribes, Chinese culture and the establishment of tribes in the Yellow River.
According to legend, a dynasty in China, dating back to the Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago, one of the kings named Yu, who tamed the Yellow River and its tributaries, allowed the tribe to develop, and from two different history books in the United States, they did not deny the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
The history of secondary schools is not recorded too much, probably because Americans pay more attention to physical objects, and in 1985, the Chinese Encyclopedia and the American Encyclopedia Britannica Company jointly compiled the Encyclopedia Britannica, which recorded the history of the Xia Dynasty.
"Xia" means "Chinese man" in the encyclopedia, and from these points of view, the United States does not deny all of the Xia Dynasty, nor does it hold a consensus view, most of which is to describe the Xia Dynasty in a very objective way.
