As the first recorded dynasty, the Xia Dynasty laid the foundation for the subsequent development of Chinese civilization. It is often regarded as the starting point of China's ancient history.
During the Xia Dynasty, significant advancements were made in agriculture, animal husbandry, and craftsmanship. These achievements not only contributed to the economic prosperity of the time but also influenced later periods of Chinese history.

keep it up bro
Thank you bro!
Very interesting indeed... I would be very intrigued to learn about the progression of science and mathematics(including large scale engineering projects in early China) in China over the last 4000 years
Sure, I will create a video later specifically explaining the development of ancient Chinese science and mathematics.
Do you mind if the introduction language is Chinese (you can use plug-ins to translate subtitles)? If you don't mind, I can send you a link to the video
@@625as-pj5mg yes please do send me, i like subtitles
Thank you for sharing this. I hear some sources say that the Xia dynasty perished because of natural disasters and plagues taking place other than King Cheng unifying tribes and vassels to overthrow Xia. As for Moxi, we never know what kind of woman she was. Comparing to Daji of Shang, she never sought to bring bad influence over King Jie similar to Baosi who never bring influence King You of Zhou in her passive and melancholic state. Moxi either gave the king poor advice and suggested a poor lifestyle. The books don't say much about the Xia dynasty where in the Early Bronze Age there was not much writing discovered unless the oracle bones and turtle shells and excavated bronze items and burials gave clues to solve about the ancient past. Scholars were trying to say that love is a distraction and leading others to do dangerous things as a moral. Let alone Jie living a debauched, wasteful lifestyle making vassels and people in the kingdom very unhappy and miserable.
Thank you for your comment. There is indeed limited information available about the Xia Dynasty, and your insights have been thought-provoking for me as well. Historical research is an ever-evolving field, and I will certainly explore the information you have provided. Perhaps in the future, there could be an opportunity to create a video discussing your perspectives. Thank you again.
@@hochiwaI learn that the Five Emperors were legendary wise men. Each had their own ruling style and were passed on through merit and virtue. I think that Yu didn't take the title Di when taking the rulership from Shun even though he was descendant of the Yellow Emperor and Zhuanxu. Yu preferred himself and his successors of the Xia dynasty as kings out of respect for the Five Emperors. Yu predicted that any of his successors would eventually fail the leadership and make terrible mistakes like his father Gun and his descendant Jie. The titles of the early monarchs before the Zhou dynasty varied. Some Xia and Shang styled themselves as Di while others from pre-Qin and onwards from the rest of the world referred the Xia and Shang rulers kings. Was the title Di a reserving title applied to an important god or a sagacious ruler when asserting absolute authority and over all the land?
@@dennishuynh3089 Your question is excellent and it is a question that someone with a deep understanding of Chinese history would ask. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors represent outstanding leaders from ancient China, but the specific individuals they refer to vary in different works. Generally, the era of the Three Sovereigns is believed to be very ancient, dating back around 4,000 to 5,000 years or even longer. I believe that before the Qin Dynasty, the title "Emperor" represented a sacred ruler, possibly with a connotation of respect for deities, but the number of rulers with the title "Emperor" was relatively few due to the remoteness of that era. However, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he changed his title to "Emperor" because he believed his achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He combined the characters "皇" (huáng) and "帝" (dì), creating the new title and called himself "皇帝" (huángdì, Emperor). It's worth noting that the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty were only titled "王" (wáng, king), and "皇帝" (huángdì, Emperor) was a higher-ranking title. In later dynasties, there were instances where an Emperor would confer the title of "王" (wáng, king) to others, but it was mostly limited to individuals of the same surname or clan, and rarely bestowed upon individuals of different surnames. Therefore, the title "帝" (dì, Emperor) later acquired practical political significance, and anyone who dared to proclaim themselves as "帝" (dì, Emperor) was asserting themselves as the ruler.
I don't think the accounts of the Xia Dynasty are real. I think the Xia Dynasty itself was quite real (especially given the Erlitou site which needs to be further explored) but the accounts that were written were made by later dynasties to cover up truth about them. They did a lot of behavior that others wanted to cover up, including behavior that most modern people associate more with the Aztecs. People inside and outside China should all see Erlitou if they get the chance.
Good comment!
I thought the Xia dynasty was a myth?
Good question. I admit that there has been ongoing scholarly debate and skepticism regarding the Xia Dynasty's existence.
Erlitou suggests that they were quite real... but it also doesn't at all match up with the accounts of them which suggests they were written to change the views of them by following dynasties.
However, the pre-Xia Yu Dynasty has been confirmed to exist in recent years, dating from 7,800 to 4,800 years ago. So the Xia Dynasty is real, but it may not be called Xia Dynasty, but Xi Yi (西邑)
@@625as-pj5mg I thought Xia was the first dynasty
@@blugaledoh2669 We only know about it in recent years (relics and writings have been unearthed). Before, we always thought that the Yu Dynasty was just a tribe, not a dynasty
