Explanation:

Although the oldest legends and stories of Chinese people say that the Xia dynasty was the first line of successive rulers, it remains a mythical event in the scientifc study of history. So far, archeologists have not found any acceptable evidence of its existence. But it´s  well alive in the folk tales and in the popular imagination of Chinese culture.
