From at least 1766BCE to the twentieth century of the Common Era, China was ruled by dynasties. A dynasty is a family that passes control from one generation to the next. A dynasty does not have to last for a long
time. One Chinese
dynasty lasted

more than 800

years while

another lasted
only fifteen years.
