Erlitou site found in Henan Province is supposed to be the capital of Xia Dynasty. It is the site about 300 years after Liangzhu culture disappeared. Historians restored the palace of Xia Dynasty artificially. The method of building Palace on the artificial platform is very similar to Liangzhu culture. The jade Yue, which symbolizes the control power of sergeants, was unearthed there. There is a view that Liangzhu people moved to Erlitou and brought jade culture after the flood. If so, the first dynasty of China was born by the fusion of the Yangtze River and Yellow River civilizations. It is said that the Xia Dynasty lasted for about 400 years. During this period, the society ushered in a period of great changes. History entered the bronze age. Bronze Ge was unearthed in Erlitou, which is the oldest bronze ware in China and the earliest bronze ware in China.
Xia nationality is a tribe with a long history living in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. In the period of Yao and Shun, the leader of Xia nationality was ordered to control the flood, but he was killed by Shun because he failed to control the flood. Shun also ordered Yu, the son of he, to control the flood. Yu "lived outside for 13 years and did not dare to enter his family." With the method of dredging, we can channel small water into Sichuan and channel water into the sea. It not only eliminated the flood disaster, but also created better conditions for the development of agricultural production. Shun took Yu as his successor. Shun died, Yu ascended the throne, known as king Yu in history, all in Yangcheng (now Dengfeng, Henan). The main ruling areas are now the central part of Henan, the north and the south of Shanxi. After Yu ascended the throne, he had already established a state of slavery. According to the old tradition, he chose Yi, a leader of Dongyi, as his successor. After Yu died, many tribal leaders opposed Yi's accession to the throne and supported Yu's son Qi. The hereditary system of the throne. Qi also cut down the Hu tribe (now Huxian County in Shaanxi Province) who opposed him and consolidated his ruling position.
