Answer:

Two of the ancient Chinese dynasties are the Shang and the Ming dynasties.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The Shang Dynasty (1766 BC-1122 BC) is the second dynasty in the history of China and the first whose historical existence is documented. Its territorial extension included the valley of the Yellow river. It was the first Chinese dynasty to expand commercially, opening its borders to trade with other nations.

-The Ming dynasty was the penultimate dynasty of China, which ruled between 1368 and 1644, after the fall of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

Some historians describe the Ming as "one of the greatest eras of disciplined government and social stability in human history." It was the last dynasty in China ruled by the Han people. Although Beijing, the Ming capital, fell in 1644 in a rebellion led by Li Zicheng (who established the Shun dynasty, which was quickly replaced by the Qing dynasty, of Manchu origin), until 1662 some regimes loyal to the Ming throne survived.
