Qi of Xia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qi (Chinese: 启) was the son of Yu and the second sovereign of the legendary Xia Dynasty. He probably ruled for nine or ten years.
According to legend, Yu the Great married Nu Jiao and stayed at home for only three days before going back to stop a flood. Then, while Yu was stopping and fixing the flood, Yu's wife had a son. Yu named the boy Qi.
After nine years, Yu finished fixing the flood and came home. Little Qi was very pleased and shot into his father's arms.
Later, Yu died after 45 years of reign. Qi succeeded him and ruled nine years. He was a very capable ruler.
Tai Kang succeeded him as king.
