Document Summary
Cultures established before dynasties: the state-formation process has several stages. Ruler rotated and power struggles among groups/clans. The problem of the conventional (cid:1445)dynastic cycle(cid:1446) mode: the dynastic mode cannot explain the complex relationship between xia, shang, zhou. Three stages of society found in the sandai period: level of village societies, level of inter-village aggregates, level of state societies (xia, shang, zhou) Yu the great - 2235-2213 bce/2200 - 2101 bce or 1900 bce. Mythology stories created about yu the great (warring state and han dynasty) Shang beliefs in legendary figures lacks sufficient evidence. Many local tales of legendary figures helping locals" problems. Yu controlled the water (during shun"s rule) Hanyang (hubei) guishan (turtle mountain): yu got the help from a giant turtle. Lake tae (lower yangtze): yu the great suppressed the giant turtle. Hukou waterfall (shanxi and shaanxi), dayu myth park: 60th anniversary of the control of yellow river + academic conference in honor of yu in 2002.
