The Xia Dynasty is described in Chinese historical books as having lasted more than 470 years, but the Xia Dynasty actually controlled the world for only 70 years.

Hou Yi is the collective name of the leaders of Dongyi, the most famous story of which is Hou Yi shooting the sun, but the truth behind this mythical story is very cruel, Hou Yi is not shooting the sun in the sky, but the sons of the sun, that is, the sons of the Xia Hou clan, because the totem of the Xia Dynasty is the sun, so Hou Yi shooting the sun is actually the process of seizing the throne.

Hou Yi usurped Xia also became a textbook for later generations of powerful ministers to seize the throne, after the death of Hou Qi, his son Taikang controlled the world, this son only likes to hunt, waste political affairs, which makes several times against the Xia Dongyi departments are ready to move, the strongest of which is the poor monarch Hou Yi, he waited until Taikang left the capital again to go fishing and hunting suddenly sent troops, easily took the capital of the Xia Dynasty,

But at this time, Hou Yi did not establish himself as the king, but chose Taikang's younger brother Zhongkang as a puppet, which also made Taikang in Xihe become a deposed monarch, and was forced to start exile, and several of his younger brothers also fled here one after another, tragically composed "Song of the Five Sons", in order to miss the homeland, and soon Taikang died of depression, and all the brothers were killed.

And the powerful Hou Yi Zhi was complacent, he forcibly took the stunning beauty of the Xia Dynasty Xuan's wife as his wife, the Xuan's wife was Le Zhengkui's wife, with the appearance of the country and the city, Hou Yi occupied the summer capital after hearing that the name of the Xuan's wife forcibly married back, soon after Le Zhengkui was unwilling to endure the hatred of taking his wife, and his son wanted to kill Hou Yi, the matter failed, Le Zheng's family was killed, and the family that was responsible for Le from the Yellow Emperor period was destroyed.

And Xia Hou Zhong Kang reigned for seven years suddenly died violently, the cause of death is unknown, as Hou Yi's puppet, Zhong Kang did not have any rights, Hou Yi and set up Zhong Kang's nephew Xia Hou Xiang to inherit the throne, at this time the princes of the world did not know the Hou Xiang, but only knew Hou Yi, seeing that the time was ripe Hou Yi exiled to the hills, and then set himself up as the king,

But after Hou Yi ascended the throne, he repeated the mistake of Taikang, he thought that the remnants of the Xia Dynasty had been cleared, and no one dared to oppose him anymore, so he indulged in hunting, and he handed over all the state affairs to his most trusted minister Han Xun, Han Xun was originally after the Bo Ming clan, the Bo Ming clan was destroyed by Xia, Han Xun was desperate to defect to Hou Yi, and reused, Han Xun who should have been grateful to Hou Yi Dade but got together with the benefactor's wife Xuan's wife, and began to clear dissidents under the instruction of the Xuan wife, and monopolized power, Hou Yi relied most on several henchmen Wu Luo, Bo Quan and others were framed to death by Han Xun, the entire court was controlled by Han Xun, and Hou Yi was intoxicated with hunting, after he returned to the city from a hunt, Han Xun launched a coup d'état, Hou Yi was killed on the bed of his wife, and after his death, Han Xun made a meat soup to give to Hou Yi's sons to eat, and those who did not eat it were immediately executed

Although Hou Yi died, but the last monarch of the Xia Hou clan in the hills but let Han Xun like a fish in the throat, he changed the Hou Xiang to exile to a more desolate pouring irrigation, and then began to crusade against the princes who did not obey him, exterminated the Ge country, crusaded against Fengyi, Huangyi, Yangyi and other eastern Yi, these princes who supported Hou Yi were pacified, and soon after the life of the Xia Houxiang also came to an end, Han Xun sent his son to pour irrigation to kill the Xiang, degraded the Xia Dynasty as a ghost, and the history of the Xia Dynasty ended.

So how did the Shaokang Zhongxing recorded in later generations spread? The story of Shaokang Zhongxing comes from "Zuo Biography", but it is only said in the mouth of Wu Zixu, he used this inspirational story to persuade Wu Wangfucha, and then it was included in the "Historical Records", in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this story was plump and perfected, in order to insinuate that Guangwu Zhongxing is the destiny of heaven.
