Past of great human group
Every chronology in the world is interlaced to all the others
study of the past of China is also a study of every other past
Project Xia-Shang-Zhou
credible chronology of early china for public and scientific
need to use multiple specialist to determine event
the document, the archaeological, or both?
the use of document is better according to the specialist of Xia-Shang-Zhou project
archaeology can only show great and hard to fake event, chronology or pattern.
a mix between history and archaeology can give a great and important but also precise chronology of event
often, archeology and history are in conflict
in Chinese view, the two are complementary, but the history is the information and archaeology the verification
history focus on little but meaningful event, date or personality, with high level of detail
written history can be fake, invented or modified following the vision or knowing of the writer, and is not an absolute truth. to analyse a written document of every type, you always need your critical sense
some history document may have been mixed with legend, myth and exaggeration of event or personality, while archaeology is physical, and defined measure applied to its definition

remain that appeal to the general public and give emotion of national pride and justify all in the nation
the reason of existence of the project being nationalism doesn't mean the project is false or modified because of it. but we can give more reserve to this project than to another one
