Sounds very much like the
"Willy Willy Harry Steve
Dick John Harry Three"
poem. No prizes for those who can guess what that is.

Personally, it sounds wicked as a poem without music

Zunjing de China History Forum members,

I would like to thank you other members for taking their time to think of songs to help enable us to keep track of the different dynasties. However, I have personally found these songs harder to learn than to just purely memorize the dynasties chronologically. Well, that is just my own opinion, and we all know that I am very weird! Hehehe!

I kind of agree with you. I do find it easy to remember the dynasties chronologically... that's made two weird ones? nah, unlikely, just different - not one bit weird!

Just an aside... I was very surprised and impressed that a college age Japanese friend could rapidly recite the sequence of early Chinese dynasties. Many (most?) young overseas Chinese probably could not do the same! No doubt it was something memorized for a school exam but still amazing.
