Does China have a history of five thousand years?

Don't! Archaeological excavations in China so far show that primitive tribes did exist in China before Xia Dynasty, but none of them can be regarded as a country. Before the Xia Dynasty, it was a legendary era, and there was no basic state institution (no clear historical materials), so strictly speaking, the history of China began in the Xia Dynasty. It has a history of four thousand years. Around 2070, Yu established the Xia Dynasty. After his death, he succeeded to the throne, and "ruling the world" became "home to the world" ... The Xia Dynasty established armed forces, set up official positions and prisons, formulated criminal laws, and the state institutions began to take shape. So Xia really established the country.
