The flood and Ancient Chinese Documents

I was wondering what documents are being refered to when this argument is stated. As best I can tell the Bible more or less points to a time around 2347 BCE. This is roughly based off of the idea that creation happened in October of 4004 BCE and using the dates of lineage found in the bible. This comes out roughly at 1657. Subtracting 1657 from 4004 comes out at 2347 thus the date Im using for the flood.Now where do the Chinese come into this date period? The first known Chinese ppl were Xia from about 2200 BCE to 1700 BCE. There have never been any writings of any type found from these ppl, and this is obviously after the flood.Thanks for any info.
