Why some chinese dynasty must be typed with"dynasty" while some does't, as a Chinese, I'm confused about it. In fact, in China, if we'd like to distinguish dynasties with the same name, for example, the Song Dynasty in 5 century with that in 11 century, we always use "Liu Song" and "Zhao song". May you please accept these answers?

Because some were first, while the rest were last; so I put 'dynasty' for the last founding and ruling states in China.
