From 6.5438+0.7 million years ago to 2037 BC, the history of human development in China includes: ape-man (early ape-man, late ape-man), matrilineal clan and paternal clan. Apes, including Yuanmou people in Yunnan, Lantian people in Shaanxi and Beijingers, all used crude stone tools.
According to historical legends, Youchao lived in the early Paleolithic period and created a nesting civilization. At that time, humans had used crude stone tools to build simple nests. It is a symbol of the progress of human civilization.
During the matriarchal clan period, women led people to participate in productive labor, thus forming tribes or tribal alliances represented by female surnames, such as "Lianshan tribe" and "Quekui tribe".
Hua Xushi is old and exhausted, so he thinks it is better to let men lead people to work. In this way, he naturally transitioned to the patriarchal clan system.
During the patriarchal clan system, tribes or tribal alliances represented by male surnames or full names were gradually formed, such as Yan Di tribe and Huangdi tribe. With the increase of men, tribes or tribal alliances were renamed tribes, and the country was gradually established. For example, Xia tribe established Xia dynasty, Shang tribe established Shang dynasty and Zhou tribe.
