Why is there no Gregorian calendar year in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties?
There are four ancient civilizations in the world, including ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India and China.

Among the four ancient civilizations, China is the only one, with thousands of years of civilization, which can be said to be a brilliant miracle in human history.

However, the long history of China civilization is beyond doubt, and we need to make it clear.

It is not enough to say that it is written in ancient books.

In fact, the exact historical age of our country can only be traced back to 84 BC1year.

What do you mean, push up, to be exact? In other words, starting from this year, we can count up year by year.

For example, this year was 200 1, last year was 2000, and the year before last was 1999.

We can count what happened last year and what happened the year before, and we can push it up year by year.

This can only be pushed to 84 BC1.

People will say, why is it 84 BC1? We have twenty-four histories, the earliest of which is Sima Qian's Historical Records.

There are chronologies in historical records, and the earliest chronology is Chronology of Twelve Governors.

The first year of the chronology of the twelve princes was the first year of the Republic in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, namely 84 BC1year.

In fact, the earliest exact age of several other ancient civilizations is also around this time, because the development of human history is like this, and the older it is, the more vague it is, and it is easy for everyone to understand.

However, if we think that the exact historical year of our country is the 9th century BC, it is far from the 5,000-year history of civilization in China.

Is there room for further development? It's not that there is no, but that there is no accepted statement.

The situation abroad is the same, with many differences and ambiguities.

However, there is no such recognized chronology in ancient China, which is a great deficiency.

Thus, during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, the national key scientific and technological research project "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dating Project" came into being.

Chronology of Xia dynasty:

He reigned for 46 years from 827 to 782.

78 1 year before Wang You's reign-1 1 year.

But this chronology is also controversial.

Because the carbon-14 calculation program used to get more specific year items has only 68.3% confidence.

Although he can get the exact date of 10 year instead of 200 years.
