    Remembering the major dynasties in order

    This stub on Chinese jam was spit off from a discussion of how to make chili oil 红油 at home. The way it happened was that I used a jar which originally held Bon Maman strawberry jam to store some

    I realise this is a total beginner topic history-wise, and maybe it\'s well-known already, but I stumbled across it by accident the other day and thought it might be of interest.

     

    A little song to help you remember the order of the main Chinese dynasties, to the tune of \"Frère Jacques\"

    of the chili sauce.

    It is funny and can be handy in some cases, unfortunately the actual timeline of the dynasties is much more complex than this

    The song is a great way to start but an associated timeline will make it even more helpful. There are lots of Chinese history charts, from very simple to irritatingly complex. Best to start with a plain one like this:
