According to the historical text, the Records of the Grand Historian or the Shiji, ancient Chinese civilization began under the Xia dynasty (2070 BC–1600 BC) and culminated with the Qing dynasty (1644 AD–1911 AD) after which the creation of the republic took place which marked the end of the dynastic era.
