Chronology proposed by Zhang (2019)[edit]

I have again reverted the addition of a novel chronology based of this preprint. There is no evidence that this has appeared in a peer-reviewed publication or that other scholars have accepted it, and therefore, as Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought, we should not include it. There is indeed no accepted chronology for this period, but widely used chronologies are those of Edward Shaughnessy in The Cambridge History of Ancient China and the Xia–Shang–Zhou Chronology Project.
