An Introduction to the Dynasties of Ancient China

Ancient China produced what has become the oldest extant culture in the world, and this video is just an introduction to the different dynasties and rulers of Ancient China all the way up until the Song Dynasty. The Greeks and Romans knew the country of China as ‘Seres,’ meaning the land where silk comes from, but the name China comes from the Sanskrit Cina, which was derived from the Qin Dynasty. It’s important to note that the dynasties and periods of Ancient China’s history didn’t start and end neatly, but ran into one another with similarities including language and religion running through each period, but for clarity’s sake, the history has been broken up into different periods. From the small villages and farming communities developed a centralised government, and the first was the prehistoric Xia Dynasty which dates between circa 2070 and 1600 BCE and was once considered more of a myth than fact. This all changed though with excavations in the 1960s and 70s uncovering bronze works and tombs that prove there was societal development between the Stone Age villages and the later, cohesive Chinese civilisation. Under the reign of Shi Huangdi, not only was the Qin Dynasty established, but it was the beginning of the period known as the Imperial Era of China which ran from 221 BCE to 1912 CE. Shi Huangdi ordered all of the fortifying walls that separated the states to be destroyed and began the construction of one huge wall along the northern border of his kingdom, and although very little of the original wall remains, this was the first Great Wall of China (though it looked nothing like the famous wall built later). — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON—   / whencyclopedia   — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store​/​ — CHAPTERS — 0:00​ Introduction 1:05 The Early History of Ancient China 2:38 The First Chinese Dynasties 5:48 The Zhou Dynasty 6:46 The Spring & Autumn Period and the Warring States 8:58 The Qin Dynasty 11:11 The Han Dynasty 13:01 The Xin & Eastern Han Dynasties 15:56 The Tang Dynasty 18:26 China After the Ancient Period 19:28 Outro — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Ancient China https://www.worldhistory.org/china/ Qin Dynasty https://www.worldhistory.org/Qin_Dyna...
