《三字经》（五）

文中子，及老庄。经子通，读诸史。

考世系，知终始。自羲农，至黄帝。

号三皇，居上世。唐有虞，号二帝。

有左氏，有谷梁。经既明，方读子。

相揖逊，称盛世。夏有禹，商有汤；

周武王，称三王。夏传子，家天下。

四百载，迁夏社。汤伐夏，国号商。

六百载，至纣亡。周武王，始诛纣。

八百载，最长久。周辙东，王纲堕。

Till there were revolution in the country.

Who founded a new dynasty called Shang.

Six centuries had passed
Before it was overthrown in the reign of Zhu.

Who captured and beheaded cruel Zhu.

The Zhou Dynasty lasted eight centuries,
And it's the longest dynasty in history.
When the capital of Zhou was moved east,
The whole state began to go downward.
