From the Li Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, from the Han Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, a 4,000-year ups and downs of changes in cities and civilizations ended hundreds of years of chaos twice, and unified the world five times, creating three powerful dynasties that lasted for more than 200 years.
