In fact, there was not much difference between the social form of the Xia Dynasty and the primitive society, because in the era of low social productivity, the progress of science and technology was slow, and all the development of society was very difficult. This also provides the initial factual basis for the rise of later dynasties and the origin of culture, and it is a wonderful and respectable thing to trace the development of human history.

The Xia Dynasty was the earliest dynasty in China, and at that time it was not a feudal society, but a slave society, that is, a society with slave owners was very miserable.

As the first dynasty of the Chinese nation, the Xia Dynasty was a typical feudal slave society, and the people at the bottom lived very hard and had no freedom. The people of the upper class lived in a more luxurious life.

The Xia Dynasty was a period of slave society, and it was also the first slave dynasty in China, and the first hereditary dynasty recorded in Chinese history, which produced the earliest school in China.

Before the Xia Dynasty, it was a primitive society.

Before the Xia Dynasty, it was the era of Yao Shunyu, collectively referred to as the primitive society, which was actually a tribe one by one. Xia, Shang and Zhou were feudal societies, and the princes and uncles were males, and they were divided into the world and were governed early. Primitive societies are also known as "primitive communes" and "primitive communist societies".

Primitive society was the first closed state of society in human history. The process of human generation is also the process of the formation of primitive society.

According to historical records, before the establishment of the Xia Hou clan, there were frequent wars between the Xia tribe and other surrounding tribes for the leader of the alliance. According to legend, when Yao, Shun and Yu, the Xia tribe alliance adopted the method of "Zen Rang" to "select talents and abilities" and elect the co-owners of the alliance. When Ruyao was old, he gave up the "king" position to the virtuous Shun.

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. It stretches from the western part of Henan Province and the southern part of Shanxi Province to the junction of Henan Province, Lushichun Shandong Province and Hebei Province in the east, and reaches the northern part of Hubei Province in the south, and the southern part of Hebei Province in the north. The geographical center of this area is the area of Yanshi, Dengfeng, Xinmi and Yuzhou in present-day Henan.

There was no dynasty before the Xia Dynasty, but the slave society before the Xia Dynasty was Yanhuang in 2697 BC - about 2599 BC Zhuolu, Hebei, Shennong Yan Emperor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor; Yao Tang was born in about 2357 BC - about 2262 BC in present-day Linfen, Shanxi, Tang Emperor Yao; Shun Yu was born from about 2262 BC to about 2029 BC in present-day Yongji, Shanxi, and Emperor Shun of Yu. The Xia Dynasty was the first hereditary dynasty recorded in Chinese history books. Among the cultural relics of the Xia period, there are a certain number of bronze and jade ritual vessels, dating from the late Neolithic Age and the early Bronze Age.

The Xia Dynasty was passed down for 14 generations, and after 17 years, it lasted for about 471 years and was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty. Later generations often refer to themselves as "Xifeng Mountain Huaxia", making it synonymous with China. 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.

China's ancient era refers to the era before the Spring and Summer, Shang and Zhou Dynasty, more than 4,000 years ago, in China, the "Wushan Man" fossils found in Wushan County, Chongqing City, have a history of 2 million years. In addition, many ancient human fossils have also been discovered, such as the slightly later "Yuanmou Man", "Lantian Man", "Peking Man" and "Cave Man", etc., which are numerous and widely distributed. In ancient times, due to low productivity, people could only survive by relying on collective strength.

People do their best, work together, and divide food equally. In order to survive and thrive, they must elect fair and virtuous people as leaders to lead them in production and resist foreign intrusions.
