The Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history, lasted from 2070 BC to 1600 BC, and today explores the history of the Xia Dynasty with an archaeological documentary.
The Xia Dynasty, historically known as "Xia". There are many theories about the origin of this title. Sima Qian recorded that "Xia" is the surname Xia Hou, and among many tribes, "Xia Hou" is the head, so after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, it was named the country with its tribe, and the Xia Dynasty was established on the primitive social system. According to historical records, before the establishment of the Xia Hou clan, there were frequent wars between the Xia clan and other surrounding clans for the leader of the alliance. The Xia tribe gradually arose around the time of ancient Chinese history. There are many ancient texts that trace the Xia people back to Zhuanxi. Among them, the "Shiji Xia Benji" calls Cang the son of Zhuanxiang, but many documents say that Cang is the great-great-grandson (fifth grandson) of Zhuanxiang: the second son of the Yellow Emperor, Yu Changyi, was born Zhuanxiang, and the son of Zhuanxiao was named Cang, and the son of Cang's name was Yu, and he was the father of Xia Houqi (i.e., Qi).
In 2070 BC, Yu accepted Shun's concession because of his merits in managing the Yellow River, became the tribal leader, and was regarded as the Son of Heaven by various tribes, establishing the Xia Dynasty and becoming the first monarch of the Xia Dynasty. This unifies the region and replaces barbaric society with civilized society. In 2060 BC, Xia Yu died, and Boyi was elected as the leader by the tribe because of his meritorious service in assisting Yu in controlling water. In 2057 BC, Xia Yu's son Xia Qi joined forces with the Xia Hou clan and killed Boyi. From then on, Xia Qi destroyed the Zen concession system, and the "family world" began. Because of Xia Qi's actions, it caused dissatisfaction among other tribes, including the Hu clan, which was represented by the Hu clan, and went to war against Xia Qi, but in the end, the Hu clan tribe ended in defeat.
In 2019 BC, Xia Qi, who had reigned for 39 years, died, and his five sons fought each other for dominance, and Xia Taikang won the final victory, but he only cared about fun and ignored the imperial government.
In 2017, Houyi of the Dongyi clan launched a war, and Houyi took control of the Xia Dynasty, while exiling Xia Taikang (Taikang lost the country), and soon after Houyi took power, he was pressured to make Taikang's brother Zhongkang a puppet. In 2010 BC, he tried to overthrow Houyi, but ended in failure and ended in depression. In the same year, Xia Xiang, son of Houyi Li Zhongkang, became a new puppet. In 1982 BC, Hou Yi staged a coup d'état and exiled Xia Xiang (Later Yi Dynasty Xia).
After this change, Hou Yi began to indulge in hunting, leaving all state affairs to Hanxun. In 1974 BC, Han Xun staged a coup d'état, killed Houyi, proclaimed himself king, and changed the name of the country to Han. In 1946 BC, Hanxun launched the War to Destroy Xia, and the Xia Dynasty officially perished. King Xia's wife fled and gave birth to a boy named Shaokang the following year. After the overthrow of the Xia Dynasty, Hanxun began to be arrogant and lascivious, ignoring political affairs. In 1920 BC, Xia Shaokang, who grew up, did not forget the national shame and began to gather the power of restoration, and in 1915 BC, Xia Shaokang conquered the two major fiefdoms of Hanxun. Xia Shaokang slaughtered all the Hanxun family, and thus restored the rule of the Xia Dynasty. Xia Shaokang is diligent in political affairs, loves the people, and has strong national strength (Shaokang Zhongxing).
In 1877 BC, Xia Shaokang died and his son Xia Zhu ascended the throne. During his reign, he attacked Dongyi, subdued the Dongyi tribes, and expanded the territory of the Xia Dynasty.
In 1857 BC, Xia Zhu, who had reigned for 17 years, died. His son Xia Hui ascended the throne. He conquered the Jiuyi tribe and further expanded the power of the Xia Dynasty, and Jiuyi paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty.
In 1813 BC, Xia Huai, who had reigned for 44 years, died, and his son Xia Mang ascended the throne. The Yellow River Festival was held, creating the Shenhe Festival, which lasted for thousands of years. In 1795, Xiamang, who had reigned for 18 years, died.
Xia Yu took the throne, and the Xia dynasty continued to remain strong while beginning to develop to the west. In 1774 BC, Xia Yu, who had reigned for 24 years, died, and his son Xia Buxian ascended the throne, Xia Buxian was a very successful monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the national strength was extremely prosperous. In 1715 BC, Xia Buxian ceded the imperial throne to his younger brother Xia Zheng, and in 1697 BC, Xia Qiao, who had reigned for 18 years, died, and his son Xia Lian ascended the throne, and was the king of the Xia Dynasty, and the Xia Dynasty was still strong under his leadership.
At this time, the Shang tribes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River began to rise slowly, and in 1689, Xia Lian died. The throne was returned to Xia Kongjia, the son of Xia Buxia, who was a dim monarch who believed in ghosts and gods, and the tribes began to distrust, and in 1680 AD, Xia Kongjia died, and his son Xia Gao ascended the throne, a Ming ruler, diligent in political affairs, and took the throne in the summer of 1669 BC, looking for wise men everywhere.
In 1652 BC, Xia Wei ascended the throne, is a famous tyrannical king in history, the minister Guan Longxiao died in prison, at this time the leader of the Shang tribe, Shang Tang, with the assistance of the adviser Yi Yin, rose up, in 1606 BC, began to conquer Xia, in 1600 BC, Shang Tang launched the Battle to destroy Xia, the Xia army was defeated in the Battle of Narujo, Xia Wei was exiled, and finally died in Hengshan.
At this point, the Xia Dynasty of 470 perished.
