Three Emperors and Five Emperors (there are many sayings, mainly legends and myths, but there is no unified statement and it will not be unified);

(Ancient): Sui people, Fu, Shennong (Emperor Yan)

Suirenshi (invented fire), Fuxi (gossip, weaving nets), Shennong (food, medicine)

Five Emperors (Ancient): Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao and Yu Shun.

At first, the power of Emperor Yan (Shennong) ruled the world; Later, Chiyou rebelled and attacked Yandi, who turned to the Yellow Emperor, and Yanhuang jointly defeated Chiyou. Finally, there was a war between Huang and Emperor Yan, and the Yellow Emperor won.

At that time, Emperor Yan represented the Chinese nation and Yellow Emperor represented the Xia nation. After the Yellow Emperor unified the world, he merged into the Huaxia nationality, which is now the predecessor of the Han nationality.

So we are talking about the descendants of the Chinese people, descendants of the Chinese people, Chinese children and so on, all based on these.

Chiyou is considered to be the ancestor of Miao, Tibetan and Yue.

Yao Shun ceded the throne to others.

Yao was ceded to Shun (including the story of Yao's inspection of Shun), Shun was ceded to Yu (Yu's father Gun failed to complete the task of water control, but his son Dayu contributed to water control), and Yu's son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, as described below.

Second, the slave society

Xia: King Qi

Shang: King Shang Tang.

Zhou: the two kings of Zhou

Xia Dynasty was the first national form in China (Xia Dynasty should be counted from Yu's son Qi).

The Zhou Dynasty has the longest history, more than 800 years (in the story "Wang Wen's Visit to Xi 'an", Zhou Wenwang took 888 steps to pull Jiang Ziya, so the Zhou Dynasty was 888 years).

The Zhou Dynasty is divided into the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period: Qi, Jin, Qin, Song and Chu.

(Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Qin Mugong, Song Xianggong, Chu Zhuangwang).

Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period: Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and Qin.

Third, feudal society.

According to Mr. Guo Moruo's classification, from the Warring States, there are the Warring States, Qin, Western Han, New Dynasty, Eastern Han, Three Kingdoms, Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Sixteen Countries, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Countries, Northern Song, Southern Song, Liao, Xixia, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

(See formula mnemonic method at the back).

This period of history is very long, and there are many dynasties, and the years of some dynasties overlap (for example, the Liao Dynasty and Xixia overlap with the Northern Song Dynasty), and there are also many stories in this period. At this time, you can only gradually accumulate from your child's existing knowledge, books and some accessible allusions.

Fourth, semi-feudal and semi-colonial society.

Republic of China.

Finally, in order to give children an overall impression of Chinese history, I memorized the formula I had compiled before, which basically solved the memory problem of dynasties in various historical periods.

Because the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are mainly legends and myths, primitive society and slave society can be simply remembered as follows:

Yao, Shun and Yu

Xia Shangzhou

Feudal society: the war between Qin and Han dynasties and the new Han dynasty

Sanjinjin Liu Shi

Southern Sui, Tang, Five Southern and Northern Dynasties

Western Liaoning Xia Jin Ming Qing
