At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great ruled over a vast territory as its first monarch. He was renowned for his wisdom, good governance, and courage. The Xia rulers followed a hereditary system, passing the throne down through fourteen generations and seventeen rulers, each with their own unique talents and contributions.
The Xia rulers inherited the traditions of Yi River culture and developed them further. Politically, the Xia Dynasty established a feudal system, dividing its territory among eleven Ji-surnamed tribes, each ruled by a member of the royal family. This system effectively kept power in the hands of the Xia rulers while also satisfying the royal family's desire for land and power.
The Xia economy relied primarily on agriculture and a tribute system. Making use of the abundant resources of the Yi River, the royal rulers developed irrigated agriculture, making farming in the Xia Dynasty highly prosperous. In outlying areas, the rulers required various tribal groups to provide resources and goods to the central government through the tribute system. This system helped local economies prosper and ensured the stability and strength of the central government.
The Xia Dynasty also had a flourishing culture, with bronze and jade objects serving as its principal cultural artifacts. These precious objects not only displayed the wealth and status of the Xia rulers, but also reflected the level of social development at the time. Xia culture had a profound influence on later dynasties and became an important milestone in Chinese civilization.
The Xia Dynasty's heartland was in the Central Plains, encompassing what are now the provinces of Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, and Hebei. Online Drama Distribution Permit: Screening Permit (Drama Review Online No.) Filing No.: 0105097240105012
I don't want to read it anymore, people who don't understand history write history books. How did Xia Qi become Xia Yu's father? Then why is it said that Xia Yu is Xia Qi Yuefeng and a descendant of Qi? What Luo Ji? Why do you say that Xia Qi directly succeeded Xia Jie? The second generation monarch? What book's view of history? If you don't understand history, don't mislead readers if you don't. Did you also say that Gun controlled the flood successfully? He also said that he failed to control the flood, so he searched for the reason in Mandarin. I thought it was a history book, but after reading it I realized that it was a book that did not understand history.
Come on, author
Not rigorous, lots of mistakes. The first two chapters are like tongue twisters.
