2. Shang Dynasty: Shang Dynasty is the oldest dynasty with written proof. Its typical cultural features are a large number of bronzes, such as Mu Si Fang Ding and Yang Sifang Zun. Sacrifice, as a symbol of ruling and worshipping gods, has always been the most solemn part of national life, and it is precisely because of this complicated sacrificial system that a lot of evidence has been left, tracing its glory back to modern society!
3. Zhou Dynasty: The greatest achievement of the Zhou Dynasty was to let the later generations call themselves a country of etiquette. Duke Zhou assisted him to become king and formulated the system of rites and music. The feudal hierarchy thought began to take shape, and the system of rites and music played a great role in the stability of the country. For example, the "system of succession to the throne" stipulated Chu Jun's inheritance system in the form of law, which is also the reason why the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years. The institutional innovation of the Western Zhou Dynasty is of great significance to the perfection of the national system, social stability and the development of Chinese civilization.
4 Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period: Spring and Autumn Period is a part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and most of the Warring States Period belongs to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This is an era when rites and music began to collapse. Confucius tried his best to restore the system of rites and music, but he could do nothing. The titles of prince, prince, boy and man began to go beyond etiquette, and wars continued! As a vassal, the king of Chu is on an equal footing with the Zhou royal family and calls himself king!
5. Qin dynasty: the unified dynasty, the intersection of cultures of various countries, the concept of a unified country began to take root in the hearts of the people and had a far-reaching impact on future generations. Some European historians believe that Europe is just a country with a shortage of talents like Qin Shihuang, which makes Western Europe not as multi-ethnic as China!
6. Han Dynasty: The Han Dynasty was founded more than 400 years ago. With the opening of the Silk Road, western civilization began to enter the Central Plains, and some vegetables with the word "Hu" came from the western regions, such as carrots and peppers. During this period, China's Chinese characters changed from the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty to the familiar traditional Chinese characters, all of which were written in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
