The origin of ancient dynasty names in China;

1. The source of the names of ancient dynasties in China: the names remembered by later generations before the Zhou Dynasty or the names set by the founders later. For example, the Xia tribe chief founded the country and took Xia as the country name. Duke of Zhou (that is, to destroy the business and establish the country, with Zhou as the title.

2, from the title: this title directly comes from the title of the founder, the most similar dynasty in history. For example, the title of the Sui Dynasty comes from the title of Emperor Yangdi, which was inherited from his father Yang Zhong before Emperor Wendi proclaimed himself emperor. This title is a place name, which is now Sui County, Hubei Province. When Emperor Wen proclaimed himself emperor, he changed the Sui Dynasty because of his words, indicating that the state power was unstable.

3. The origin of the certificate: This kind of country name is more common in minority regimes, such as the Liao State established by the Khitans. The word "Liao" means wrought iron in the Qidan language, and the place where Liao Taizu made his fortune is rich in wrought iron. As a result, the sixth emperor of the country, Liao Shengzong, was renamed Liao, symbolizing that the country was as strong as iron.

4. Follow the meaning of the prophecy: the title of the Yuan Dynasty originated from the literal meaning, and it was taken from the Book of Changes as "great zai", headed by Yuan, with Gang as the leader, and later changed from Meng to Yuan. The Qing dynasty is called Qing dynasty because the former dynasty was Ming dynasty, while the Qing dynasty was five elements of water, and the Ming dynasty was fire, and water could control fire.

According to the founder, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin was divided among the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei, so a country named after these three surnames was established.
