Yanhuang historical time

In fact, when the Republic of China was founded, according to the 29th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1903), Liu published Chronology of Huangdi in the National newspaper, opposing the chronology system and Confucius chronology advocated by reformists such as Kang Youwei. Liu advocated that the year when the Yellow Emperor was born should be the first year of the era, and 46 14 in the 29th year of Guangxu. However, the year of birth and death of the Yellow Emperor is not clearly recorded in the literature. Song advocated that the year of Guihai when the emperor ascended the throne was the first year of the era, and 1904 was the year of the Yellow Emperor in 4602.

China's five thousand years began at that time.

In addition, around 2000, after ten years, China made a dating project of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Experts have published the chronology of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and determined that the beginning year of Xia Dynasty was about 2070 BC. The Yellow Emperor lived for about 1000 years in summer. In this way, it started from the Yellow Belt and has a history of five thousand years.
