The change of dynasties is a matter of history, and there is no reason for it.
It's like why some people live long and some people live short, and it doesn't make sense.
It was according to the situation at the time. Maybe it was because the people were happy at that time, maybe it was because of the political clarity, maybe it was because no one wanted to rebel.
To put it mildly, the time has not yet come.

The progress of the productive forces is the fundamental reason for the change of dynasties!
When the system of a dynasty is not adapted to the development of the productive forces.
If this dynasty does not take effective measures, then it will be obsolete from history
-
The early dynastic society was relatively simple, and the later period was more complicated.
This is the embodiment of human progress! As society becomes more complex and people are more demanding, the management skills of the ruling class are more demanding. If the ruling class slacks off a little, people will be dissatisfied, and this will strengthen the people's power to change the dynasty.
If the ruling class is good at learning and improving, then it can also stabilize the dynasty in a complex society, and if it slacks, the consequence is to change the dynasty!

The progress of the productive forces is the fundamental reason for the change of dynasties!
-
The progress of the productive forces is the fundamental reason for the change of dynasties, and the Han and Song dynasties adapted to the progress of the productive forces.

The Song dynasty is the only dynasty that lasts more than three hundred years, while the Zhou and Han dynasties do not. The Zhou Dynasty was not a centralized power as the only feudal dynasty, and academically speaking, the duration of the Zhou Dynasty could not be compared with the centralized system of later dynasties. And the Han Dynasty was in the middle of the fall of royal power, Wang Mang established a new dynasty, which had made the Han Dynasty no longer exist, and the Eastern Han Dynasty established by Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang was no longer there.
The inheritance system in the traditional sense. Therefore, neither the Zhou Dynasty nor the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a continuous dynasty. <>
The official academic recognition of the dynasty is from the establishment of the ** centralized system after the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms, so that it was recognized as a complete dynasty. The establishment and system of the Zhou Dynasty was not strictly from an academic point of view, it was not a dynasty that ruled the world, although during the Zhou Dynasty, the various vassal states were still centered on Zhou Tianzi, but in fact it did not exist in the middle and late periods. The sphere of influence and system of the vassal states were no longer controllable by the Zhou Dynasty, and each vassal state was also the next person to the throne who passed on the throne to itself, and was not decided by the central Zhou Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty was a unified royal power system after the Qin Dynasty and the succession system were perfect, but there was a fault in the middle, so it cannot be recognized academically from the perspective of dynastic continuity. <>
The Zhou Dynasty is also relatively little written, and in a practical sense, it was not a strictly feudal dynasty. The difference is that the Han Dynasty is a complete dynasty in both aspects, but the Han Dynasty is divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some people have proposed at this time that the Song Dynasty is also divided into the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, why is the Song Dynasty more than 300 years old, and why is the Han Dynasty not. This is because according to your actual situation, the Song Dynasty is still a dynasty that has not been left behind by the succession system, the Han Dynasty was overthrown by Wang Mang and there was no succession, strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty has fallen, Wang Mang established a new dynasty that lasted for fifteen years, and the Han Dynasty has fallen.
Later, Liu Xiu started his own business and raised troops to overthrow the new dynasty and re-establish the dynasty, but Liu Xiu still called the Han in the name of recovering the Han family, so there was the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty cannot be called a continuous dynasty in the actual sense, so the Han Dynasty is not a dynasty of more than three hundred years in the actual sense. <>
In addition to the records of historical documents, the definition of the era and the identification of dynasties are also positioned by the people of later generations with certain standards, otherwise there is no standard for measurement, then there is no so-called comparison and measurement of how many years the dynasty has exceeded.
-
Because the Song Dynasty was continued, the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, although they lasted for more than 300 years, were not considered a centralized system.
1. Continuation of the dynasty. The centralization of power in the Zhou Dynasty was not unified, and there were many vassal states below; The Han Dynasty has been interrupted since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, so it does not belong to the dynasty for more than 300 years.
-
The only one of more than 300 years from the perspective of time, the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty actually lasted for more than 300 years, but strictly speaking, the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty actually do not meet people's definition of the continuation of the dynasty. It is precisely because of this that people say that the Song Dynasty is the only dynasty in Chinese history that lasted for more than 300 years.
-
The Zhou Dynasty enjoyed the kingdom for 790 years, but it was divided into Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou. The Han Dynasty enjoyed the country for 407 years, but it was divided into the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. So it can't be called a dynasty.
-
Mainly because the Zhou and Han dynasties did not fit the people's definition of royal continuity, it is believed that the Zhou and Han dynasties could not be regarded as dynasties more than 300 years old.

There are a few possible reasons for this:
1. The social structure at that time was very loose, and many ordinary people did not know that there were so-called rulers. The rulers also did not know how many people they ruled by alcohol. When neither the ruler nor the ruled know the existence of the other, there is no idea of overthrowing the regime.
2. At that time, there was no clear tax system. In the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called ruling class is not clearly different from the king of the mountain. If you come to collect taxes, it will be equivalent to robbery, and if I can beat you, I will drive you away, but if I can't beat you, then I will wait to be ransacked.
I was really forced to be helpless, so I also pulled a group of people to occupy the mountain as the king, and also went out to rob, but the power is not as big as yours. Therefore, the largest mountain king has always been called "the ruler of the dynasty".
3. Poor transportation and communication made it impossible for the people to organize an effective rebel army and pose an effective threat to the ruling dynasty.
-
Why did the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou rule for so long, the Xia Dynasty was 451 years and the Shang Dynasty was 623 years.
It was because the people's wisdom was not civilized at that time, and the rule of the king was implemented at that time.
-
At that time, education was relatively backward, most regions were in the transition period of primitive society, and the land area at that time was also relatively small, which was easy to centralize management.
-
I think one of the reasons for this is the low productivity, because after all, it takes a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources to rebel and establish a new regime, otherwise it will fail.
-
Mainly because everyone has their own lives, the population is not large, and they can live very well, so they don't object to it, anyway, they don't ask everyone too much, what's the matter, and you can find a solution to it, so it's too much. The benefits of a small country and a widow.

The Paleolithic Age is 3 million years, the Neolithic Age is 20,000 years, the Bronze Age is nearly 2,000 years (in the late Longshan period, such as the second phase of the Ke Province Zhuang Chengziya Liangzhu began to be counted until Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms), the Iron Age is more than 2,000 years....
To put it simply, the productive forces have different relations of production, different states of ideological enlightenment, and different political frameworks.
-
The reign of the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 845 years, but in fact this rule was very weak, Zhou Tianzi was only the nominal co-lord of the world, and there were many vassal states under Zhou Tianzi, and these vassal states fought for themselves, so the Zhou Dynasty only maintained theoretical unity, because the power of the various vassal states was balanced on the whole, and there was no superpower to unify the vassal states, so the Zhou Dynasty would last for so long, until a strong vassal state - the Qin State rose and unified the world, and the Zhou Dynasty died right.
-
First of all, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties before the Qin Dynasty did not belong to the **centralized dynasty,** and the ruling power over the local area was not large, and the **centralized system was only established by the Qin Dynasty.
Before the Qin Dynasty, it was in the form of loose tribal alliances, and even the Zhou Dynasty implemented a feudal system based on blood ties, which determined the suzerainty status of the Zhou Dynasty.
According to the history of the wilderness, the three countries of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties corresponding to the three dynasties of the Xia, Shang and Zhou have always existed, and they have always lived in the form of tribal groups. The change of dynasties represents a change of power for the strongest tribes living in the land. In other words, Shang's defeat of Xia and Zhou's defeat of Shang was in fact just a tribe defeating the tribal leader and becoming the new leader.
And the development of ethnic power was very slow in the era when there was no productive forces and backwardness. From the trajectory of history, we can see that every technological change will bring about a new round of power change. For example, the establishment of the Qin Dynasty was achieved by combining the accumulation of national strength and several changes of the thirteen generations of kings of the Qin Dynasty, as well as the iron-smelting technology that had just emerged at that time.
Another point is that people's knowledge has not been effectively disseminated and their minds have not been emancipated. Therefore, later generations will call Confucius a sage, because he broke the monopoly of the aristocratic class on knowledge, advocated education without class, and realized the spread of knowledge among the people at the bottom, as well as Chen Sheng, although he failed in the uprising, but his "prince and general Xiangning has a kind of" said that the vast number of people at the bottom of the people were unyielding and resentful of the long-term oppression life, and opened the thinking of the ancient peasants on class issues, so many later dynasties were destroyed because the peasants were overwhelmed and raised their banners to revolt.

1. Divine authority of kings, totem worship. At that time, there was no going through hundreds of schools of thought, and there was no contention in thinking, but the monarch was deified and ritualized, so the people's thinking was relatively ignorant.
The main contradiction in societyIt is the contradiction between man and nature; The contradictions between countries are not so intense.
It is low productivity, lack of food, a small population, and a small area of activity. It is not easy to fight a war, and it takes several years to prepare for a campaign, and then fight for a few more years, so it is difficult to cause the destruction of the country.
Implement a sub-envelope system. There are many nationsand mingled with many nomadic and hunting tribes. It is difficult to have powerful princes to unify many countries and pose a threat to the royal family.
-
One reason is the influence of theocracy, people dare not go against the sky, unless they really can't live, and the second is the stability of aristocratic rule.
-
Or is it because of the power of the rulers. It is also related to the speed of development of the entire era.
-
At that time, it was a slave society, people's ideological consciousness was weak, and the rulers preached the divine right of kingship to the people, so that the masses had little sense of resistance. Wars usually occur between tribes or between princes. However, since the Qin Dynasty Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, and then the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty, people have realized that the prince will have a kind of peace
As a result, the following dynasties rarely lasted more than 300 years.
-
Because it was the early days of feudal society, the various systems were not yet perfect.
-
Xia Shang is a theocratic state, the king represents the heavens, and the ancestors are afraid of God, so it can last for so long, and the Zhou is actually only unified in the Western Zhou Dynasty, only about three hundred years, which is a manifestation of the secular and not as deterrent as the theocracy.
-
Slavery. Reference to the North American Emancipation Movement!
If it weren't for Washington being the first to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
There will be no Martin Luther King, Jr., and his "I Have a Dream."
In other words, if it weren't for the whites, they would want to emancipate the blacks because of conflicting interests.
Black slaves are not confused about their identity.
There will be pain, but they don't understand that this thing can actually be broken.
-
I think they ruled for a long time, firstly, because their rule was relatively good, and secondly, the folk customs were very simple at that time.
-
The corruption of the rulers!Where there is oppression, there is resistance!
-
In the era of slavery, there was no idea of a large-scale uprising.
-
At that time, the population was small, the land was extremely vast, and there was not even competition for cultivated land.
For example, even at the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin army killed 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, which severely damaged the Zhao State.
But at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement died at least tens of millions, and then, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty even increased in the Westernization Movement. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were 400 million people, 400,000 young and strong, which was really nothing.
The history of China is really recorded in more detail, starting from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The previous history is extremely vague, and there are a lot of mythological episodes.
In the past, the population was small and the land was extremely large, and the various vassal states were to eliminate the surrounding barbarians and then expand their territory. For example, the descendants of Hou Yi are generally believed to be near present-day Shandong, but in the end, they were all wiped out by the Qi State. The Dongyi people disappeared in the long river of history.
Summary: Just entering the dynastic era, the various vassal states are not fighting internally and fighting for territory. Rather, it is to reclaim arable land, and at the same time, to fight against other places. For example, the Qin State has always fought against Xirong, such as the Chu State, has always fought against the Southern Barbarians, such as the Qi State, and has always eliminated the Dongyi tribe.
In the spring and autumn, basically, the territory was beaten down and internal PK began.
However, because the productive forces are still backward, they still cannot be unified.
At the end of the Warring States Period, finally, the productive forces gave a vassal state the ability to launch continuous wars of annihilation, and finally, the unified Qin Empire appeared.
Before the Qin Empire, it was a loose state. It can be understood that the Xia Shang Zhou is today's Europe, but there is a powerful Holy See above many states. (Zhou Tianzi).
