2. Shang: According to legend, the ancestor of Shang (now Shangqiu South, Henan Province) helped Yu to control the water, was sealed by Shang, and later called his tribe (or tribe) by "Shang". When the soup goes out, it is in the name of "Shang". After Pan Geng moved to Yin (now northwest of Anyang, Henan Province), it was also called Yin or Yin Shang.
3. Zhou: When the Zhou tribe arrived at Gu Gong's father, they moved to (now 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".
4. Qin: According to historical records, this is an ancient tribe. Its leader, the concubine, raised a horse for Zhou, who made outstanding contributions. He was named "Won" by Zhou Ci, and was given a small piece of land (now Tianshui County, Gansu Province, also known as Longxiyu). Later, Xiang saved Zhou Yougong and was made a vassal. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established the State of Qin.
5. Han: Xiang Yu named Liu Bang Hanwang. Later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified China, which was called "Han". Chang 'an was the capital of the early Han Dynasty, and Luoyang was the capital of the later Han Dynasty. Therefore, it can be divided into "Western Han Dynasty" and "Eastern Han Dynasty" from the capital, and "Pre-Han Dynasty" and "Post-Han Dynasty" from the time.
6. Wei: Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty once named Cao Cao "Duke Wei" and "Wang Wei", and Cao Pi was called "Wei" after the Han Dynasty. Cao was given a title by the royal family and was also called "Cao Wei" in history.
7. Shu State: Liu Bei takes Sichuan as his active area, and Shu State refers to Sichuan, also known as "Shu Han" in history. Chinese refers to the continuation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wu: Sun Quan lives in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In history, when Wu was founded, Cao Wei named Sun Quan as "King of Wu", so it was called "Sun Wu" in history. Because it is located in the East, it is also called "Soochow".
9. Jin: Si Mazhao forced the Wei Emperor to make him the Duke of Jin, and after the destruction of Shu, he became the King of Jin. Later, his son inherited his title, forcing Wei Emperor to abdicate and stand on his own feet as emperor, with the title of "Jin".
10. Sui: Yang Zhong, the father of Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, was named "Qi Huangong" by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wendi later adopted this title, which was called "chasing the DPRK". He thinks that the meaning of "go with you" may be changed to "follow", which is ominous.
1 1. Tang: Li Hu, the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was made "Tang Gong" and was succeeded by Li Yuan. After the uprising in Taiyuan, Li Yuan claimed to be the "King of the Tang Dynasty", and later abandoned You Yang to build the Tang Dynasty.
12. Liao: Liao was originally called "Qidan", but it was changed to "Liao" because it lived in the upper reaches of Liao River.
13. Song Dynasty: After Emperor Gong ascended the throne in the later Zhou Dynasty, I was sent back to Germany. The German army was stationed in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan) and Zhao Kuangyin was sent to Songzhou. Therefore, after the mutiny, Chen Qiao made his fortune in Songzhou and was named "Song".
14. Xixia: Tuoba Sigong occupied Zhou Xia (now Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province), which was named "Daxia" after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because in the west, the Song people called it "Xixia".
15. Gold: Jinducheng is located in Ning, Jing Hui (now Acheng South, Heilongjiang Province). According to legend, its aquatic products are gold, and the Jurchen word for "gold" is "pressing a tiger".
16. Yuan: According to Yuan Shi, the name of Yuan was decided by Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu. It is the "Yuan" in the sentence "Great Gan Yuan" in the Book of Changes, which means great and first. However, some people think it is related to Mongolian customs and totems, while others think it is related to Buddhism.
17. Ming: Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the insurgents at the end of Yuan Dynasty, which was developed by inheriting Guo Zixing, and Guo Zixing belonged to An Baili School. Anbalism declared that "darkness is about to pass, and light is coming", so as to inspire people to oppose the rule of the dark Yuan Dynasty, so it is also called "light religion". Han called him "Wang Ming" (his son called him "Wang Xiaoming"), which reflected his purpose. Zhu Yuanzhang not only once believed in religion, but also admitted that he was a member of the rebel army (once deputy marshal Zuo). After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, the title of the country was "Ming".
18. Qing: Manchu is a branch of Jurchen nationality. The Jurchen nationality established the Jin State in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen forces regained their strength and rebuilt the State of Jin (the later Jin Dynasty). In order to expand outward, the late Jin Dynasty severed its vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty changed "Nuzhen" to "Manchuria" and "Jin" to "Qing". In the Song Dynasty, Jurchen was controlled by the Khitans. He was named "Jin" because the word "Liao" means "iron" in the Qidan language, which means that it is stronger than iron and can overwhelm "Liao". There are different opinions on the reasons why "Jin" changed to "Qing". Some people think that Huang Taiji wants to avoid causing sharp contradictions.
