History of hilt
The earliest recorded dynasty in Chinese history is Xia Dynasty, which was founded by Chuanwei and Hou Kai. Prior to this, the emperor's succession was based on the abdication system, but after this dynasty, the emperor's succession became hereditary, and from then on, "the world under heaven" became "the world under home". Since the Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history, why haven't the remains of the Xia Dynasty been found so far? Some people think that the reason why the ruins of Xia Dynasty can't be found is related to the following two reasons.

First of all, because of the age, the ruins of the Xia Dynasty disappeared because of human activities. The Xia Dynasty has a history of thousands of years, and the production level at that time was low, so the built city walls, buildings and other items could not survive for thousands of years, so they may be gradually weathered and disappeared. Coupled with the subsequent wars and human activities, these sites were destroyed until they disappeared.

Secondly, the Xia Dynasty did not exist at all. But personally, this is impossible. After all, writing was relatively perfect in the Shang Dynasty after the Xia Dynasty, so this shows that the embryonic form of writing existed before the Shang Dynasty. But there is no site of the Xia Dynasty so far, so there are still some controversies about the existence of the Xia Dynasty in the world.

The Xia Dynasty represented the beginning of China civilization. As sons and daughters of China, we firmly believe that the Xia Dynasty existed. Just because of the age, the sites and related items have not been preserved, and the historical materials about the Xia Dynasty are also very scarce, so the existence of this dynasty has been questioned.
