There were 13 dynasties that ruled ancient China. They are as follows: 1. Xia dynasty. Xia dynasty is considered to be the first dynasty in ancient China which lasted for almost 500 years including the rule of 17 emperors. This dynasty was set up by Yu the great under the system of choosing emperors based on their abilities. Such a system was called Abdication system.
China gained it's first real national identity under the first of the Chin dynasty, thus the name China. This was around 200 AD. This marked the unification of the 3 kingdoms into a single kingdom that is roughly 2/3rds what is now China today. The Qin dynasty is considered by many to be the beginning of China also. This happened around 200 bc, 400 years before the first Chin ruler. Many of the charatoristics that would become Chinese culture came from this dynasty.
