夏是我国古代最早的一个世袭王朝,列于夏、商、周三朝之首。但是,因为没有留下当时的文字记录,只能根据后人的著作了解其事迹。最早记述夏历史的主要著作是经孔子整理和编纂的《尚书》;其次就是司马迁的《史记》;再次是西晋太康二年在汲县发现的竹简所记的魏国史书,称为《竹书纪年》,此书上起黄帝,继述夏、商、西周,直到战国时魏国的史事。 Xia was the earliest hereditary dynasty in ancient China and was listed on the head of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty. However, because there was no written record left at the time, the story of the descendants could only be understood. The earliest records of the history of Xia are the “Books” compiled and edited by Confucius; the second is Sima Qian’s “Historical Records”; and the second is the history of Wei Guo that was written by Bamboo Slips discovered in the county of Xi Jin in the Western Jin Dynasty. In the “Year of the Jubilee,” the book begins with the Yellow Emperor, following Xia, Shang, and Xi Zhou until the Warring States period.
