I believe every Chinese has heard his name. The statement that Yu is a dynasty isn’t dominant in academia, however, there are ancient documents supporting this statement and listing every “emperor” of Yu. Thus not just a few scholars consider Yu is indeed a dynasty and does not belong to primitive society. -- source link
