Chapter 1 Wedge

According to the record of "Justice in the Spring and Autumn Annals", "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; and the beauty of clothing is called Hua!"

Therefore, Central Plains is also called Huaxia.

On the land of China, there are many nationalities, among which the Chinese nation is the most brilliant one.

For example, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Mongolia, etc., have been recorded in Chinese history.

There are countless legends in this mysterious land of China.

From the time of the Five Emperors in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Yao, Shun, Yu, the Five Emperors era ended.

Later, the emergence of the Xia Dynasty marked the emergence of a new system in the land of China - the rule of the dynasty under the family.

After 470 years of ups and downs, the Xia Dynasty was finally replaced by the Shang Dynasty. It started in Tang Dynasty and ended in the collapse of Emperor Xin (King Zhou).

Since King Wu began to conquer Zhou, he established the 790 year old Zhou Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 800 years and can be regarded as the longest dynasty in Chinese history.

However, in 770 BC, the Western Zhou Dynasty died in the war show of King You of Zhou Dynasty and dug its own tomb. Fortunately, King Ping Ji Yijiu turned the tide and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Since then, the most famous Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history has begun.

The beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period also weakened the power of the Zhou Dynasty, and led to the disputes among the princes in the world.

Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Mu of Qin and King Zhuang of Chu successively dominated the country, which also meant that the Zhou Dynasty, which had lasted for nearly 800 years, began to decline. (There is another saying that Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, King Helu of Wu and King Goujian of Yue were the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.).

The beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period also allowed the war to continue for more than 200 years without intermission.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period began. In 475 BC, the first year of King Zhou and Yuan, the Warring States Period began.

The Warring States Period is one of the important historical periods in Chinese history, and also one of the most serious and lasting periods of division and confrontation.

Inherited from the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, the hundred schools of thought continued to contend. It was the golden age of Chinese thought, academic, science and technology, military and political development, and was known as "the hundred schools of thought contend" in history.

At the same time, the vassals seeking strength and survival launched many world-famous reforms and reforms, such as Wu Qi and Shang Yang.

In the process of annexation war, such as Zhang Yi and Su Qin's manoeuvring, Lianpo and Li Mu's battle battle, and the political mediation of Lord Xinling and Lord Pingyuan

There are so many idioms and allusions for later generations.

In the process of unifying China, the Warring States Period also shaped the embryonic form of a centralized monarchical society.

Until 256 BC, the State of Qin, which had undergone Shang Yang's reform, dared to defy the public opinion and annihilated Zhou at one stroke.

So far, the Zhou Dynasty was submerged in the torrent of history.

In 221 BC, Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, successively destroyed six countries, namely, Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi. At the age of 39, he completed the great cause of unifying China, established a powerful centralized country with Han nationality as the main body - the Qin Dynasty, and established the territory of China itself.

However, when the world was determined, the super dynasty that should have lasted for hundreds of years was overthrown in just 15 years.

So, what has happened in these 15 years? Historical records are not exhaustive.
