Based on work by David Nivison. All dates BC until the first AD is reached, and then they're AD. I remove the dates he considers legendary at the beginning. Also I remove the mourning eras (two years after each king except those who retired), because presumably de facto the reign started earlier, just the "accession" ceremony was done in the third year (as we know from Western Zhou inscriptions). Seriously, read his paper for something more detailed than this.
I know the title says "ancient", but I couldn't resist extending it a bit further with the standard dates. But no more than this! List of Chinese monarchs is that way if you want to go beyond the two Jins.
