Then came the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China's history. Referred to as "summer".
China's ancestors:
China's ancestor was the Yellow Emperor. China History, the Encyclopedia of China, explains the Yellow Emperor as follows: "The earliest ancestor of China in ancient historical legends was recognized as the ancestor of the whole family after the formation of the Chinese nation." With regard to the origin of the word Huaxia, some archaeologists believe that "flower" is a kind of flower, which was originally a symbol of the rose of Yangshao culture in the Central Plains of China, and later formed a * * * identity with the dragon totem symbol tribe at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, so there was a saying that "Huashan Rose Yanshan Dragon" evolved into "Xia, Shang, Zhou,". "Xia" is known as the ancestor of Xia Dynasty in history. The encyclopedia says that "a descendant of Huangdi family entered the southern part of Shanxi today and created Xia culture", which is called Xia family and "established the first dynasty of Xia Dynasty in China".
At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou people joined hands with Xia people in exile, Jiang family in the system (thought as representative) and Chu people who moved south. Then it overthrew the rule of Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou people called themselves "Huaxia" and later called their vassal states "Zhu Xia" or "Zhu Hua".
From about the Spring and Autumn Period, China ancient books began to use "Hua" and "Xia" together, which was called "Huaxia" clan. In the twenty-sixth year of Xianggong in Zuo Zhuan, there is a saying that Chu lost China, which is the earliest record of the word "Hua".
After the feudal lords fought for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, the powerful countries annexed the weak countries in the Warring States Period, and even Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, the Chinese nation was finally completely unified for the first time. After the Han Dynasty became powerful, Huaxia changed its name to Han, and Huaxia became Han.
