This dynasty, commencing B. c. 2205 and terminating 1767, oc- oupied the throne 439 years, the records of which are brief and of doubtful authenticity. Of all the seventeen emperors, the first, Tá Yii, or Yü the Great, was the most celebrated for his virtues; the last, Kieh Kwei, was the most notorious for his vices. Of the other monarchs of this family, little is recorded besides their names, and these read like mere chronological characters.
