竹書紀年 by Unknown
"竹書紀年" by Unknown is a historical account written in ancient times, likely during the early centuries of the Common Era. The text is believed to chronicle significant historical events, genealogies, and records of the ruling dynasties in ancient China, specifically focusing on the Xia and Shang dynasties. It serves as a crucial document to understand early Chinese civilization and its rulers. The opening of the text presents a chronicle starting with references
to historical figures such as Yu, the founder of the Xia dynasty, and events related to his successors. It discusses the ascension of various rulers and their actions, such as warfare, cultural practices, and the establishment of governmental practices.
