China has a long history and complicated dynasties. The first thing the founder of each dynasty should do is to establish the name of the country, that is, the name of the dynasty, which is called the name of the dynasty for short.

There are five reasons why the name of a dynasty is decided: it comes from the name of a tribe and tribal alliance, from the original divinatory symbols and the title of the founder; Originated in the area ruled by the original regime of the founder; Originated from clan relationship; It means good luck.

Xia: According to legend, Yu was once blocked because people used to call his regime "Xia". According to the historian, Yu's son was called "Xia" only after he moved westward to Daxia (Fenyue area in the south of Shanxi), while Yan Shaokang restored the Xia Dynasty in Luncheng (now Yucheng west of Shangqiu, Henan) and resumed its rule, which was called "Shao Kang Zhongxing" in history.

Shang: According to legend, the ancestor of Shang clan helped Yu to control water, and was sealed by Shang (now south of Shangqiu, Henan), and later called his tribe (or tribe) by "Shang". At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Bo (now Gushu Town, Shangqiu City, Henan Province) was its capital with Shang as its name. After Pan Geng moved to Yin (now Anyang, Henan), he was also called Yin or Yin Shang.

Zhou: When Zhou people went to the ancient palace to pray, they moved to Qishan, Shaanxi. After the Yin Dynasty was destroyed, Zhou was taken as the name of the dynasty. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, its capital was established in Gao (now southwest of Shaanxi), and then it was moved from Pingdong to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan). Because it is in the east of Gaozhi, it is called "Western Zhou" and "Eastern Zhou".
