What was the society like in Xia Dynasty? People's dress customs, appearance, etc.

Xia Dynasty was the first hereditary dynasty in the Central Plains recorded in China's traditional history books. It is generally believed that Xia Dynasty was a country in the form of multi-tribal alliance. There are a certain number of bronze and jade ritual vessels in the cultural relics of the Xia Dynasty, dating from the late Neolithic Age to the early Bronze Age. Although there are many records about the Xia Dynasty in China's traditional literature, they are all written late, and there is no recognized direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty, such as the contemporary characters of the Xia Dynasty as self-evidence, so the authenticity of the existence of the Xia Dynasty has been questioned by modern historians.

Xia Dynasty is in the embryonic stage of the transition from clan tribe to monarchy, which is a crucial turning point in China's social and political development. The main reason lies in the rapid development of material production forms in the late Neolithic period. While the output of surplus commodities increased, the rights of gentry and nobles also rose together, which was followed by the intensification of internal contradictions among gentry and the monopoly of a few upper-class nobles on material wealth. In this case, the primitive democratic demise system in clans and tribes has been unable to adapt to the new social situation and has been replaced by the hereditary monarchy system.

The Xia Dynasty is indeed a mystery, and it is more a fragmentary record of the Shang Dynasty, which is impossible to verify at all.
