Second, the first dynasty in the history of China First of all, the first dynasty in the history of China was the Xia Dynasty.
Yu established the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC. Xia Dynasty (about 2050 BC-about 65438 BC+0600 BC)
The first dynasty recorded in China's history books. According to historical records, the Xia Dynasty was the first country in China's history where Qi, the son of Yu, abolished the system of abdication of traditional tribes and killed foreigners to become king. Yu Xia changed from him to the hereditary system of the throne through his son, not the previous abdication system. Biography of Xia Dynasty 13 generation, 16 king. The center of Xia Dynasty is in the west of Henan and the south of Shanxi. It is said that after the death of Qi, Taikang ascended the throne and there was a temporary regime change, which was called "mourning the country". After the revival of Shao Kang, the Xia Dynasty was rebuilt. During the reign of Confucius, the Xia Dynasty declined. After that, the three spread to Valerian and the Xia Dynasty perished. About 400 years later, it was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty.
Because there are no written words handed down directly in the Xia Dynasty, the understanding of the Xia Dynasty has long relied mainly on the records of ancient documents, including the kings, officials, troops and prisons of the Xia Dynasty. Since modern times, the excavation of large palaces, tombs and numerous bronzes in Erlitou Village site in Yanshi County, Henan Province has revealed the politics, economy, society, culture and life of Xia Dynasty as slavery.
Second, the establishment of the Xia Dynasty:
According to legend, when Yao, Shun and Yu were in power, the tribal alliance adopted the method of "abdication" to "choose the best and appoint the best" and elected the master of the world. Yao was old and gave the throne to Saint Shun. Shun was old and gave the throne to Yu, who was old and passed it on to his son Qi. Since then, abdication system has been replaced by hereditary system. Yu is the leader of the Xia tribe alliance in the Central Plains. After he became the "Lord of * * *" in the world, he established an army, conquered the three southern Miao people, built a city, and formulated a criminal law, thus establishing the first slave country in China's history-the Xia Dynasty.
Third, the consolidation of the Xia Dynasty:
Shortly after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Taikang lost his country and was captured by foreigners. I trusted Han Zhuo, and he killed me. For more than forty years, the political situation has been turbulent. Xiangzi Shao Kang went through all kinds of hardships. With the help of Yu Yu and other ministries, he attacked and killed Han Zhuo and revived the Xia Dynasty. Since then, through the efforts of several generations, the Xia Dynasty has become increasingly powerful, with the Central Plains as the center, and its territory extends to the sea in the east, Xihe in the west, Yanshan in the north and Changhuai in the south.
Fourth, the demise of the Xia Dynasty:
There was chaos in the Confucius family, and the Xia Dynasty went from bad to worse. Jie Shi's ruling class was decadent, built palaces and courtyards, pampered young girls, ignored political affairs and listened to advice, squandered money, and people complained everywhere. Shang Tang crusaded, and Jie fled to the South Nest and died. Valerian in the summer solstice was once inhabited by kings of 14 and 17 generations, and existed for nearly 500 years.
