The Xia Dynasty started when the leader Yu the Great spent years researching how to prevent flooding. He was able to invent irrigation and everyone thought he was a god and made him the ruler. Some other things that happened were that they invented stone casting and the calendar. One question I have is why was Yu the Great chosen to be a ruler when all he did was find a way to prevent flooding.

The Shang Dynasty started when Cheng Tang overthrew the evil king of the Xia. During the Shang Dynasty, writing was invented, bronze technology was improved, and so were bronze weapons and warfare. One question I still have is what exactly did the ruler if Xia do to be called evil?
