It's actually quite a complicated history. Background was that the Xia dynasty was a slave dynasty composed of tribes. Its last ruler was very cruel and was finally overthrown by the Zhou Dynasty.The Zhou dynasty established a feudal system, and its descendants and founding fathers were enfeoffed as Kings. The Zhou ruled over them.You can think of the Zhou dynasty as a feudal version of federalism, with each country having its own army. Unfortunately, after hundreds of years, the kinship between the kingdoms began to grow apart and to begin to conquer each other again.The Zhou completely lost control of the states and split into several states, starting a century-long war of annexation until the Qin conquered all the states.

[@gracetsai]

No, each disintegrated/warring period lasted a few hundred years. Basically, there are three major disunited periods. The first one is the entire Spring-Autumn and Warring states period, from about 700 BC to 200 BC. The relationships among the various states are not dissimilar to those between European countries for the last 1000+ years, during which royal families of various states intermarried, such that the heads of states were cousins or other relatives who went to wars against each other. Keen competitions for resources and talents led to advancement in many areas including philosophy, agriculture, rapid colonization and development of sparcely populated territories. Qin defeated all other states but all the heavy lifting of Qin culminated in a united Han dynasty (about 200 BC to about 200 AD) which was a successful melting pot, giving rise to Han culture. The nomadic Hunu (=Xiongnu in modern Mandarin) confederation was the major antagonist of Han, and it was eventually defeated by Han China. The second one is the Three Kingdoms-Wei-Jin-and northern/southern dynasties from about 200 AD to 580 AD. Some Han elites and their followers emigrated to Japan, which started to have a writing system based on Hanji (Han character) during this period. Meanwhile, the nomadic proto-Mongolic Xianbei immigrated into China proper and abandoned nomadic lifestyle. Han-Xianbei mass intermarriage and integration culminated in the Sui-Tang dynasty (580 AD to about 900 AD). The trade via the Silk Road blossomed during Tang China, and Buddhism, which was first introduced via the Silk Road to the nomads in northern China, spread throughout Tang. The nomadic Turkic confederation, which was the major antagonist of Tang, was eventually defeated by Tang China. The third one is the Northern Song/Khitan(=Cathay) to Southern Song/Jurchen/Mongolian period from about 900 AD to 1250 AD. This period again led to mass immigration of the nomadic peoples who abandoned their nomadic lifestyle and adopted agricultural-based lifestyle. This period also saw the decline of land-based trade via Silk Road and the rise of maritime trade via South China Sea and Indian Ocean to the Middle East. The disintegration of the Mongolian Empire led to the subsequent united period of Yuan-Ming-Qing dynasties to the modern republic eras from about 1300 AD to present, during which Beijing is the capital of China proper about 90% of the time. For the majority of time during the period from 200 BC to 900 AD, the seat of central government of China proper was in Chang'an, which is now called Xi'an.

India was the world's richest and most populous country for -5500 years (from 4200 BC to 1700 AD). In olden times, when technology was not so prevalent and countries were agrarian, a civilization with the higher population meant a higher GDP. India dominated world Economy and Culture for 5500 years. Ancient China, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Japan were all influenced by Indian philosophy of Buddhism. Even today, China has 150 million Buddhists. To put that in perspective, Imagine US dominance today, except that the US in 10 times stronger. India's economy only dwindled after 1000 ad because of continuous Arabic conquests and British colonialism. China talks about a century of humiliation, but India should talk about a Millenium of humiliation!

Yuan's sudden showed up probably correlates to the political move of Kubulai who declared himself a Chinese emperor and made a official challenge to Song's legitimacy as well as being the successor of Genghis Khan to get the support of ex-Song and Jin bureaucratic apparatus like Merovingian King's Christianity conversion. This way he can rule China properly and directly with dictatorial power instead of through a series of semi independent vassal kingdoms like Medieval European Feudalism. The rest of the Mongol Empire in the Russia and Middle East didn't show up because they were only bound to Kublai as vassals and Kublai has little to no say in their internal governing.

For those who say its because the empire only has control over the cities and outposts- no real life academic publisher makes maps like that. If they did, the Persian Empire would be a bunch of unconnected dots and roads, the United States in the early nineteenth map should be represented as a bunch of dots centered around where the cities and forts were since they didn't even have full control over the Native American tribes and so on for other countries in similar situations.

The ruling class of the Song Dynasty chose the path of emphasizing culture over military affairs because they were afraid of falling into the same ending as other dynasties (the army rebelled and established a new dynasty). Take the two great generals of the Song Dynasty as an example: Yue Fei and Xin Qiji. Yue Fei once helped the Southern Song Dynasty fight against the invasion of the Jin Kingdom and experienced military exploits, but was later framed and killed by a traitor. Xin Qiji was once an outstanding military general who helped the Southern Song Dynasty in the Northern Expedition, but later he was not reused and could only write poems every day, becoming another important poet. Before he died, he still shouted "kill the enemy". If not for all this, although the Song Dynasty may not necessarily win, it will definitely be able to hold Mongolia back for more than 45 years.
