Anyone here study Chinese history? How do you remember the name of a specific period of years? Like those that are named after the king's name?

How do you remember the name
The same way I remember the periods of Japanese History, European history, fossil records, and even computer programming: by learning it, if necessary, by rote.

Yes they did, you were just watching the school marm with the 38D extended front end. ;P

Peruse a copy of The Memory Book[^] -- the mnemonic techniques it teaches are ideal for things like that. Also cool for nerdy things like remembering a deck of cards in order or the first N digits of pi (100 was enough for me!).

some answer from encarta, http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/search.aspx?q=Chinese+history[^] China traces it origins as a discrete political and cultural unit to ancient times. From the 2nd millennium bc to the early 20th century, a succession of dynasties ruled progressively larger parts of what is now China. A notable feature of the later dynasties was the dominance of the scholar-official class, made up of educated men who were recruited to serve as government officials based on their skills rather than their family background. When European expansion began in Asia in the 16th century, the global context of Chinese history changed, and by the 19th century China had to confront militarily stronger European powers. By the early 20th century China’s defeat at the hands of the imperialist powers had become the catalyst for a revolution against the dynastic regime. Chinese revolutionaries overthrew the last dynasty in 1911, and for several decades the country was torn apart by warlords, civil war, and Japanese invasion. In 1949 the Chinese Communist Party won the civil war and established China’s current government.

I thought that one who obviously views themselves as a Chinese-phile would see how many layers my quip was humorous, a tweak of Chinese cultural arrogance, and a reminder of the fact that no matter how big an obstacle may be going around it is usually the most brilliant strategy at overcoming it.
