The Beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao Shunyu passed on;
Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou divided into two sections;
Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, unifying the Qin and Han Dynasties;
Three points wei shu wu, two jin before and after the extension;
The southern and northern dynasties stood side by side, and the five generations of the Sui and Tang dynasties were passed down;
After the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the imperial dynasty ended here.
This is a dynasty song that has been recited since I was a child, telling the history of china for five thousand years, saying that reading history can be wise, and today we will first cover up those confusing dynasties.
The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao Shunyu, in fact, can be attributed to the primitive tribal period, with rich mythological colors, Nuwa created people, Cangjie created characters, Houyi Shooting Sun, Chang'e Benyue and so on are all legends that appeared in this period, which can be said to be the source of Chinese mythology.
Xia: Later, when Da Yu ruled the water, traveled all over the world, and divided Kyushu, Yao Shun passed the position of tribal leader to Yu, according to the historical records, Yu was originally passed on to Yi, but Yi gave way to Yu's son Qi, opening the hereditary system of "family world", and finally Established the Xia Dynasty, which is the first dynasty recorded in the history books.
The Xia Dynasty has been passed down for 14 generations, about 471, due to the fierce internal disputes within the clan, coupled with the cruel rule of Xia Jie, the leader of the Shang clan, Tang, destroyed the Xia Dynasty and re-established the dynasty, which is the Shang Dynasty we are familiar with, also known as yin Shang.
Shang: The Shang Dynasty was the first dynasty in China with direct written records, once found oracle bones and jin scripts in the Yin Ruins, passed down for more than 500 years, once moved the capital many times, and finally set the capital of Yin, now Anyang, Henan.
The most famous of course is the Shang Dynasty King Di Xin, the spread of the Fengshen Yanyi, which made it widely known, in the historical narrative, it has been said that Di Xin was drunk with wine, poor soldiers, and was a typical tyrant who was called "桀纣" along with Xia Jie.
In the end, The Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, raised an army from Xiqi, and on the way to cut down the merchants, Ji Chang died, Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, and after the Battle of Muye, the King of Shang yi set himself on fire in Lutai, and Ji Fa, the King of Zhou Wu, established the Zhou Dynasty and divided the world.
Zhou (Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou): The Zhou Dynasty was divided into two periods, Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, with a total of 790 years of enjoyment. The Zhou Dynasty divided the princes, and during the succession of King You of Zhou, in order to win the favor of concubines, they played with the princes, and later deposed the daughter of Marquis Shen of Zhenghou and the crown prince Yiusu.
Yi Usu fled to the State of Shen, and when Hou Shen heard about it, he joined forces with the State of Sui and the Inuyasha of the West to attack the King of You, killing King You of Zhou at Mount Li, and thus Western Zhou perished. Later, Yi Usu ascended the throne as the King of Zhouping, moved the capital to Luoyi, and then entered the Eastern Zhou Period.
However, due to the reputation of his father, King Zhou Ping was very unpopular, and Duke Yu of Zhou separately supported Ji Yu as king, calling him King of Zhou, and in the early days of Eastern Zhou, there was a situation of "two kings standing side by side", and later Marquis Wen of Jin helped King Zhou Ping attack and kill King Zhou, which unified the Zhou royal family.
Eastern Zhou (Spring and Autumn and Warring States): Due to the weakness of the Zhou king and the struggle for hegemony among the princes, the eastern Zhou dynasty led to mutual conquest between the princely states, nominally dominated by the Zhou, but in fact they fought separately, so the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also known as the "Spring and Autumn Period".
During this period, the whole country was divided into more than 140 large and small princely states, and the more important ones were the State of Qi, the State of Jin, the State of Song, the State of Chen, the State of Zheng, the State of Wei, the State of Lu, the State of Cao, the State of Chu, the State of Qin, the State of Wu, the State of Yue, and the State of Yan.
In the second half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the struggle for hegemony among the princes gradually came to fruition, and the pattern of the Seven Heroes was formally formed, with Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin each occupying one side, that is, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
At this stage, the co-lordship of the Zhou Dynasty had long existed in name only, barely maintained in the Luoyang area, and later the Qin Dynasty was unified, and the Qin King was called emperor, and the history was called "Qin Shi Huang", marking the end of the Warring States and the end of the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Qin: The Great Unification of the Qin Dynasty, after two generations of death, in the last year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin II Hu Hai took the throne, the oppression of the peasants was even deeper, there was Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, followed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have risen to respond, with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang the most fierce momentum.
The two agreed that whoever entered Xianyang first would be the king, and then Liu Bang would detour into Wuguan and capture Xianyang, and since then Qin has fallen, and the country has experienced a brief period of division of forces from all sides, Liu Bang is the king of Han, Xiang Yu is the overlord of Western Chu, and then Liu Bang takes the opportunity to rise up and approach Western Chu, involving the chu-Han dispute, ending with Xiang Yu killing the Wujiang River, the country is unified, and Liu Bang establishes the Han Dynasty.
