    The first year of the republic and 841 BC (Western Zhou).

    Launched on May 16, 1996 and accepted by the state on September 15, 2000, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project pushed forward the exact historical chronology of China by more than 1,200 years. The Xia dynasty is presumed to have begun in 2070 BC; It is presumed that the boundary between Xia and Shang was 1600 BC, which clarified the reign of the following twelve kings of Shang Wu; It is presumed that the boundary between Shang and Zhou was 1046 BC, which clarified the specific reign of the ten kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty before 841 BC.

    The results of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project are only a stage of promotion in China. International recognition will take time. In contrast, the account of the first year of the Republic and 841 BC (Western Zhou) is more credible.

    The exact date of our country began in 841 B.C.

    This was calculated by later generations according to the Western Gregorian calendar chronology.

    The ancient Chinese chronology adopted the Ganzhi chronology, and there was no such form of the Common Era. This year Sima Qian records that it was the first year of the Republic. The chronology of the twelve princes also began in this year, for example, the thirty-seventh year of King Li of Zhou was 841 BC.

    After a lot of combing and consulting materials, the historian Sima Qian found that the historical chronology before 841 BC was very confusing, or the specific time was not recorded, and it could not be accurately located, which may be due to the lack of historical materials. At the same time, he found that the historical chronology after 841 BC was clear and uninterrupted, and the exact time could be determined, so he set 841 BC as the first year of the republic, that is, the first year of the republic.

    After this year, China had an accurate chronology.

    China dates from the founding of the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC. The Xia Dynasty (c. 2070-1600 BC) was the first hereditary dynasty recorded in Chinese history books. There are a certain number of bronze and jade ritual vessels in the cultural relics of the Xia period, dating from the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age.

    According to historical records, Yu Chuan is located in Ziqi, which changed the Zen concession system of primitive tribes and created a hereditary precedent in China for nearly 4,000 years. Therefore, the "family world" in Chinese history began with the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. The eleven tribes of the Xia people have a patriarchal relationship with the Xia Hou clan ** royal family in blood, a feudal relationship in politics, and a tribute relationship in the economy, which roughly constitute the core territory of the Xia Dynasty.

    The Chinese written dynasties can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, and the main evidence is that the existence of oracle bone inscriptions and Jin inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty is the earliest systematic written symbol in China that has been discovered. In the Xia Dynasty before the Shang Dynasty and earlier in ancient times, the historical excavation of cultural relics, although there are sporadic symbolic records, but not systematic, because of the age, the inherent continuity and consistency of its text makes it impossible for modern people to peek into the information contained in it, and it still requires a lot of painstaking research and dedication of historians.

    The exact chronology of Chinese history begins with the first year of the Western Zhou Republic, that is, the rebellion of the Chinese people in 841 BC.

    The earliest historical record is the oracle bone inscription, which records only a few words, all about the Shang Dynasty monarch's divination, and there are also accounts of wars, mainly because there are too few unearthed oracle bone written records (maybe more, and the result was drunk by the ancients as a dragon bone soup), which cannot constitute a coherent history, and is not recognized overseas.

    The real written history record is 841 B.C., the Western Zhou Dynasty republican. From this time on, there was an epoch-making term called "the era of letter history".

    The exact date of Chinese history is 841 B.C.

    The exact date of the beginning of China's history is the first year of the republic of the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, 841 BC. Since then, every emperor has a definite date, such as the first year of King Ping of Zhou is 770 BC; The first year of Han Gaozu was 206 BC. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are more special, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Emperor's Chronology is adopted nationwide.

    Among the nations, the chronology of the princes, such as the 31st year of King Ping of Zhou and the first year of King Wu of Chu, both refer to 740 BC.

    Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there have been era names. Since then, every emperor has to change the yuan when he ascends the throne, and he will make trouble every year with the name of the year. For example, the era name of Tang Taizong was "Zhenguan", and his reign used "Zhenguan" to date.

    There is no limit to the number of emperors' era names. Some emperors have many era names, such as Tang Gaozong Li Zhi has 14 era names, and Wu Zetian has 17 era names. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties all used a year name.

    For example, Ming Chengzu has always used the "Yongle" era name.

    Ganzhi chronology

    The Ganzhi year, the chaotic bend spring is to A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, REN, 癸 TEN DAYS STEM AND ZI, CHOU, YIN, MAO, CHEN, SI, NOON, WEI, SHEN, UNITARY, XU, HAI TWELVE EARTHLY BRANCHES IN ORDER TO COMBINE THE YEAR.

    The heavenly stem and the earthly branch can be matched into 60 pairs according to certain rules (single with single, double with double), that is, one jiazi (60 years), and the time is recorded over and over again. The terms mentioned in modern history, such as the First Sino-Japanese War, the Wuxu Reform, and the Xinhai Revolution, are the Ganzhi years. This method began in the Han Dynasty, and the Ganzhi is still used in the lunar calendar.

    The first year of the Republic, that is, in 841 B.C. "Zhou Zhao Republic" is also known as "Republic Administration". But there have always been two ways of saying the "republican administration" form of government:

    The first is the official history headed by the "Historical Records", which believes that the two ministers of Zhou and Zhaogong jointly govern, of which Zhaogong is Zhaobohu; The second is the other history headed by the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", which believes that the "republican administration" is the common uncle and the government, and the regent of the Son of Heaven, among them, the common uncle and the princes of the republic, the "earl" and the name "and". "Zhou Zhao Republic" is a major event in the history of our country, the first year of the republic, that is, 841 B.C., is the beginning of the exact chronology of our country's history.

    On the issue of the chronology of Chinese history. Chinese historiography has always regarded the rebellion of the Chinese people in 841 B.C., the first year of the Western Zhou Republic, as the beginning of a definite chronology of Chinese history.

    However, the "Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project" in the historical circles pushed forward the exact chronology of Chinese history by several thousand years.

    The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project is a major scientific and technological research project of the national "Ninth Five-Year Plan", which was officially launched in May 1996, with the goal of establishing a scientific basis for the chronology of the Xia Shang and the Western Zhou Dynasty before the Republic. There are two main ways of research of the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project": collating and studying the ancient documents handed down and the unearthed oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions and other ancient writing materials, especially the relevant astronomical and calendar records through modern astronomical calculations, and presumption of their age; Typical archaeological sites and burial materials were analysed and the necessary excavations were carried out to obtain a series of samples for conventional and AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) carbon-14 dating.

    The project aims to establish a chronology of three dynasties, the Zhou Dynasty is the basis for the study of the chronology of the three dynasties, and the late Western Zhou Dynasty is the foundation within the foundation. One of the main projects is: the kings before the first year of the Western Zhou Republic (841 B.C.), put forward a more accurate date.

    After five years of collective efforts, in October 2000, the new Xia Shang anniversary table was officially announced. In the new chronology, the Xia Dynasty is about 2070 to 1600 BC, the early Shang period is about 1600 to 1300 BC, and the late Shang period is 1300 BC to 1046 BC. King Wu conquered in 1046 BC.

    Relevant information shows that Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty in China, began the chronology in the "Records of the Historians" from the first year of the republican administration, that is, 841 B.C. This also gives China's history an exact chronology from then on.
