The rule of all emperors who established this title was passed down from generation to generation. Dynasty is the appellation of ancient class society for a specific period of the country. A complete dynasty stage or a monarch's ruling stage can be called a dynasty. For example, the Qing Dynasty was divided into Shunzhi Dynasty and Kangxi Dynasty.
The difference between countries is:
Although many dynasties in China have overlapping titles of "Chao", it does not mean that dynasties are equal to "Chao" (country). For example, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Spring and Autumn and Warring States are not one country, but many "dynasties" or small countries, all of which are regarded as a dynasty for convenience. "Korea" is a historical division made by later generations, and "Korea" is similar to a country from a modern perspective.
The word "country" is a broader term, which refers to the overall political and economic system of a region dominated by external political forces. For example, the Tang Empire and the Song Empire are equally important in the eyes of other countries, and the political power established by the Han people in the Central Plains is China's.
Country is a term of political geography. A country in a broad sense refers to a social group with the same language, culture, race, descent, territory, government or history. In a narrow sense, a country is an isomorphic form formed by a certain range of people.

The definition of Chinese dynasty
Chinese dynasties are different from other parts of the world. The difference between "dynasty" and "dynasty" is that "dynasty" was an idea that existed at that time. For example, Confucius said that "a man's father was in the dynasty", and the Chinese word "dynasty" has the meaning of today. Politically, it refers to the meaning of the regime of the incumbent, and there is the concept of "one regime rules the world today".
Therefore, "Chao" is similar to the current "state-ruled regime" (that is, the government managed by the state), but it is not the same as the "state" in the modern definition (the state is a local political power management unit generated from the clan land of the tribal alliance in ancient China, which was called "vassal state" in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties).
"Dynasty" is a name for future generations to divide history conveniently. The theory of "Chao" was not invented by modern scholars, but also an existing division rule set by ancient officials to distinguish the historical periods of a certain regime.
The most obvious thing is that the "dynasty" of "Three Kingdoms, Two Jin Dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties" is obviously not just a dynasty, but is composed of several different regimes, such as the Jin Dynasty, the Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and other "Asian Dynasties", while the Southern Dynasties are divided into the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Southern Dynasties' Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Dou are divided by "Dynasties".
China's dynasties used "dynasty" as the dividing standard to distinguish the ruling time of a certain regime, so the duration of "dynasty" often overlapped with the country to which it belonged. Such as Qin, Sui, Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The countries of these dynasties all overlap with the times of dynasties, and the rise and fall of a dynasty is also the rise and fall of this dynasty.
Although many dynasties in China overlap with the titles of dynasties, this does not mean that a dynasty is equal to the concept of "dynasty", which is similar to a modern ruling government. Gu said: "those who protect the country, their monarch and ministers seek it;" Different from the concept of modern sovereign countries, people who protect the world are humble and responsible.
Under the concept of feeling at home, the royal family in China has become the dominator of the world through rotation, and "changing dynasties" is the process of changing the ruling regime of the dynasty.
Then, why don't "Qin Dynasty" and "Qin State" count together? It's simple. Before the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, only those who became masters of the world dared to call the dynasty, but the ancients thought that calling the dynasty was different from calling it before, so they called it "the dynasty" after the unification of Qin, but Qin did not call it the dynasty before, but it was just a local political power.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only dynasty was the Zhou royal family. The same is true of the Western Han Dynasty. Although Liu Bang was already Hanwang, he was not considered a part of the Han Dynasty before he was called Chao. The situation in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties was the same as that in Qin and Han Dynasties. Although they were all independent regimes before becoming the world's * * * Lord, they were not called dynasties, so the history of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties only started from overthrowing the previous dynasty and becoming the * * * Lord.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, no matter whether the world was unified or not, they dared to be called the DPRK, but these divided regimes often refused to recognize each other's qualifications to be called the DPRK.
