The origin of dynasty names:

China has a long history and its dynasties are sporadic and complicated. The first thing the founder of each dynasty should do is to establish the country name (dynasty name). The title of the country is the title of the country, that is, the title of the regime. Before and after the Song Dynasty, titles of large and small countries were basically taken according to their locations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the titles of Qin, Jin, Qi, Song, Han, Zhou, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Wu, etc. , often appear repeatedly in later generations, because the founding of the people's Republic of China or the rise of the army or the fief of leaders in later generations all worked under the system of Kyushu, Gong Yu. Founders can find their own corresponding views.

Even in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the political power established in Wuhu was strictly based on geographical location, such as Beiliang, Southern Yan, former Qin Dynasty and later Zhao Dynasty. But there is one exception, that is, the new dynasty established by Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, which means to get rid of the old and innovate, giving Wang Mang the meaning of the New Deal.

With the expansion of China's territory, Wang Di can no longer cover those countries that appear on the historical stage. For example, Kyushu in Gong Yu does not include Northeast China and Mongolia, so it is difficult for the regime from Northeast China to name the country according to its geographical prospect. Therefore, from the Liao Dynasty, the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, which started from Northeast Asia, abolished the tradition of looking at the country and gave the country a new meaning.
