Pre-Qin history
Legend has it that in ancient times, Yan Di fought against the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor tribe replaced the rule of the Yan Di tribe. Then it took about 3,600 years from about 5700 BC to about 2 100 BC. Kings in this period all adopted the "abdication system", and finally arrived, with their Zen emperors located in Shun and their old age in Yu. After Yu's death, Yu's son initiated the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, ending the abdication system. From then on, "Xia" became the first dynasty in China. There were "20,000 princes" in the Xia Dynasty. More than 400 years later (about 1600 BC), Xia Jie, the last king of China, was cruel and ruthless and established the Shang Dynasty.

During the Shang Dynasty, the bronze craft was very developed, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions was also very mature. Therefore, Xia Shang Dynasty (about 2 100 BC to about100 BC) (also known as Shang Dynasty or Shang Zhou Dynasty) is also called "Bronze Age". Legend has it that there were "three thousand princes" in Shang Dynasty. About 1046 years ago, the King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty in the upper reaches of the Yellow River conquered the Zhou Dynasty, and after winning the battle of Makino, the Western Zhou Dynasty was established, with Haojing as its capital, and its territory gradually expanded. There were about "eight hundred princes" at the beginning of the week. Before 84 1, "the people of China revolted" and rebelled against the tyranny of Zhou Liwang. Since then, the collegiate bench of six ministers has been implemented, which is called "Republican administration" in history. This is the exact beginning of China's history. 770 years ago, Zhou Pingwang moved to Luoyi, a nomadic tribe in northwest China, known as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history.

Since then, with the decline of the power of the Zhou Dynasty, many vassal states have been formed, including the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes in the Warring States Period, which is known as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Finally, during the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the State of Qin.
