When did the Xia Dynasty fall and what was the reason for the fall of the Xia Dynasty?

According to traditional Chinese historiography, the Xia Dynasty is considered the first dynasty in Chinese history. It is worth noting, however, that the existence of Xia as a historical dynasty has been a matter of debate among scholars, and there is not enough archaeological or documentary evidence to confirm its existence. It is often considered a legendary dynasty.

According to traditional Chinese historiography, the Xia dynasty is said to have existed between 2070 BC and 1600 BC, but the actual dates of its establishment and demise are uncertain and controversial. Some historians believe that the Xia dynasty was founded around the 21st century BC, while others believe that the Xia dynasty may have existed as early as the 24th century BC. The end of the Xia Dynasty is also uncertain, with some **** believing that the Xia Dynasty ended around 1600 BC, while others believe that the Xia Dynasty may have lasted until 1500 BC.

The traditional version of the end of the Xia dynasty is that the Xia dynasty was overthrown by the Shang dynasty, which then became the ruling dynasty of China. The Xia and Shang Anniversary Table Project is an archaeological project designed to provide evidence for the existence of the Xia dynasty, which shows that the Xia and Shang dynasties coexisted in different regions, and that the transition from Xia to Shang was a gradual process.

In conclusion, the exact date of existence of the Xia Dynasty is uncertain, and scholars debate it, and the Xia Dynasty is considered a legendary dynasty in Chinese history.

According to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties project, it is now preliminarily determined.

The Xia dynasty was founded around 2070 BC and died around 1600 BC.

Because most of the verifiable things in China are from the middle and late Shang Dynasty onwards, including writing, including tripods and so on.

For example, when the Xia Dynasty was written, most of them were written on the basis of records left down by word of mouth.

All the things that have the Xia Dynasty, there are a lot of ambiguities.

In addition, the living habits of ancient Chinese farming + earthen houses. In the end, there are not many surviving archaeological contents, and it is not easy to date. So, at the moment, it's just a vague concept of time.

The Xia Dynasty fell around 1600 BC and began in 2070 BC, making it the first hereditary dynasty recorded in Chinese history books.

It probably fell before 1600 BC, because the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty ignored the suffering of the people and paid taxes excessively, which led to the fall of the Xia Dynasty.

In 1600 BC, the Xia Dynasty fell at this time, and there are relatively few records of the Xia Dynasty in history, and after the Xia Dynasty ended, it was the Shang Dynasty.

When was the Xia Dynasty established and when it fell.

The brutal rule intensified social contradictions and was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty.

The Xia Dynasty (c. 21st century BC, c. 16th century BC) was the first slave dynasty in Chinese history. The Xia Dynasty was passed down to 14 generations, 17 years later, and lasted for about 471 years. The establishment of the Xia Dynasty began with Yu.

Yu's father, Chongbo, was the leader of the Youchong tribe on the south bank of the Xiong River in the Song Mountains. There are Chong clans and Gonggong clans at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain on the north bank of the Great River, both of which are tribes with rich experience in water control.

In the Yaoshun period, in order to compete for the royal power, Kun and Gonggong successively fought fiercely against Yaoshun, but after failure, Yu continued to unite with the Gonggong clan and many other tribes to gradually control the water in the areas of Yi, Luo, He, and Ji.

Yu took over the position of Kun, gave up the water control strategy of "blocking" Kun, and changed to focus on dredging, that is, according to the elevation of the terrain, to channel the water accumulation in the highlands, so that the fertile plains can reduce the disaster of flooding.

After the treatment, the residents, who were originally concentrated in the higher areas along the edge of the Great Plains, moved to the lower plains to reclaim the fertile land. The land of Yazawa, where vegetation is lush and animals breed, has become a place where people are happy to settle. There had been a marked increase in the productive forces of society, which provided the necessary economic basis for the establishment of a slave state.
