When did ancient Chinese history begin and when did it end? How many dynasties were there?

The history of Chinese literature can be traced back to the 11th century B.C., when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Imperial College to cultivate literary talents. However, the early Chinese literature did not form a complete literary history system. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that poetry began to flourish that the traditional literature represented by the Tang Dynasty poetry gradually formed. During the Song Dynasty, literature flourished and a group of outstanding writers such as Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Li Qingzhao, etc. Their works became important representatives in the history of literature. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, novels, operas, and other literary works began to become popular and became an important branch of literary history. The development of modern Chinese literature began in 1911 after the Xinhai Revolution. The rise of the New Culture Movement marked the advancement of Chinese literature. From the 1930s to the 1950s, Chinese literature experienced a large-scale revival and creation peak. A group of outstanding writers and works such as Lu Xun, Lao She, Ba Jin, etc. emerged. The development of modern Chinese literature has continued until today, when modern Chinese literature was the main part of the literary history, and it also included traditional Chinese literature and modern literature.

Ancient Chinese and classical Chinese were two different forms of literature that originated from different historical periods. Ancient literature referred to the literary forms that originated from ancient China, such as poetry, prose, and Fu. The ancient language was still widely used in China's history until the end of the Qing Dynasty. The first stage of the classical Chinese was the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Warring States Period. It was featured by concise language and different meanings. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it gradually developed into a complete form of classical Chinese. The use of classical Chinese was more extensive than that of ancient Chinese. For example, the use of classical Chinese could be seen in the letters, memorials, poems, and songs of ancient officials. Ancient literature was mainly used in literature, history, philosophy, and other fields.

The origin of Chinese literature can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, from 770 to 221 B.C. During this period, many great ideologists and politicians appeared in China, such as Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Han Feizi, etc. Their thoughts and works had a profound impact on Chinese literature. In the following historical period, Chinese literature continued to develop and many important literary schools and works appeared, such as The Book of Songs, The Songs of Chu, The Analects of Confucius, Tao Te Ching, etc. Chinese literature not only continued to develop in terms of literary form and content, but also had a profound influence in the fields of culture, philosophy, history, politics, etc. Chinese literature has a long history and is an important part of Chinese culture.

The origin of Chinese culture can be traced back to the Neoliths about 5000 years ago. During this period, the earliest civilization appeared in China, the Xia civilization. The core of the Xia civilization was Dayu's flood control, which was one of the most famous events in Chinese history. The Xia civilization gradually declined until the establishment of the Shang Dynasty. During the Shang Dynasty, Chinese culture began to spread widely, forming the ancient poetry culture represented by the Book of Songs and the ancient letter culture represented by the Book of History. At the same time, the Shang Dynasty also created the system of binary-valued mathematics, which became an important milestone in the history of Chinese mathematics. In the Zhou Dynasty, Chinese culture flourished further. The Zhou Dynasty established the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, during which many great cultural achievements appeared, such as the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Warring States Period, and other historical books, as well as Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism. At the same time, the Zhou Dynasty also created the imperial examination system, which became one of the earliest sources of the imperial examination system in China. During the Warring States Period, Chinese culture welcomed its golden age. The cultures of various countries blended together to form a rich and colorful Chinese culture. For example, Qu Yuan and the culture of Chu State, Jixia Learning Palace and Confucian culture of Qi State, and military books and military culture of Zhao State were all important parts of Chinese culture. During the Qin Dynasty, Chinese culture began to move towards unification and norms. The Qin Dynasty established a system of central power and at the same time created a unified system of words and weights and measures, laying the foundation for the unification and development of Chinese culture. Generally speaking, the origin of Chinese culture can be traced back to the Neoliths about 5000 years ago. After a long process of development, it formed a rich and colorful cultural system.

Chinese history began in the Xia Dynasty around 2100 B.C. According to legend, the Xia Dynasty was the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history. It was established around 2070 B.C. and ruled about 5.7 million square kilometers of territory. During the Xia Dynasty, China gradually formed the foundation of the early feudal society. The historical record of who recorded the first history book was rather complicated. According to scholars 'research and research, the earliest records in ancient Chinese history books can be traced back to the Warring States Period, between 475 and 221 B.C. The most famous history book was the Spring and Autumn Annals, which was first recorded in 722 B.C. The history book of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Xiaoji, recorded that it was around 2070 B.C. Therefore, the Xia Dynasty was one of the earliest dynasties recorded in Chinese history.

The Records of the Historian was a work of ancient history written by Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty. It was first written in 1046 B.C. There were 330 chapters in the book, including historical events and figures from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and other periods. Records of the Historian was one of the most important documents in the history of Chinese literature and also one of the representative works of ancient Chinese history books. The Records of the Historian consisted of 330 chapters, which were divided into five parts: biographies, tables, books, aristocratic families, and biographies. They mainly described the historical events and figures of various dynasties in Chinese history from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Because of the early writing of the Records of the Historian, there may be some inaccuracy in the book, but it still has an important position and value in historical and cultural studies.
