Use your life to reward your ancestors; without your life, you will kill the society. Yu Ze Shu Ru. - "Historiography of Natsumotoki"
Yu unfortunately died on the way to the inspection, which is now near Huiji Mountain in Zhejiang. It is said that because he created the tribute tax system, in order to commemorate him, he named the place of burial "Huiji", which means accounting in ancient times, that is, comprehensive assessment, which shows the importance of this initiative to the creation of the country. Since then, the Xia Dynasty has opened the model of family world, although there are some small episodes in the middle, but the general trend is that one generation is not as good as a generation.

The system of pseudo-Zen concessions, the beginning of the family world
After Dayu's death, there was a period of let Xian's fake handle, why is he said to be fake? Because there had never been a second case in the entire Xia Dynasty except for this period of Jean Xian, such an abrupt act had nothing but wanted to highlight Dayu's benevolence.
It is said that dayu determined that the successor was Gao Tao, who could sneak around and pat horses, after being made the son of heaven, but unfortunately the politician Gao Tao died early, so he let his son Yi rule.
Please note that if Dayu feels that Gao Tao is powerful and appoints Gao Tao as his successor, this really belongs to Jean Xian. But since the virtuous people have returned to the west, if it is really the logic of "meritocracy" that dominates, is it once again sifting through the vast sea of people, how can it be logical to land the position of heir on his son Yi?
The logic behind this is ultimately the "heir to the throne", that is to say, since the beginning of Dayu, there has been this deep-rooted family system idea, although posterity has tried their best to smear this disgraceful practical practice, but careful combing will still see flaws.
Then the pretending procedure must be familiar to everyone, Dayu's son Qi is very virtuous, so everyone beats gongs and drums to hope that he will govern, so Yi will give way after Dayu's son Shouxiao returns.
At the end of the evil government, benevolence is deteriorating day by day
Let's leave this history untrue or false, despite his obvious traces of contrivance. Let's now see how this master, who is praised by everyone, is doing. Is it as virtuous as fanatics say?
After Xia Qi succeeded to the throne, the various tribes seemed to be not very peaceful, for example, the Hu clan did not listen to his command, which was actually a signal, that is, Xia Qi's authority gradually declined, so the Xia Dynasty began to conquer the east and the west, and when the prestige was not enough to maintain the great unification, force came in handy.
But Xia Qi had a particularly bad behavior, he forced "victory in battle", if you did not win, it means that you disobeyed the order, and those who did not obey the order had to pay a price, they had to be killed and shown to the public, and their families also had to be brought together, and the prototype of the sitting system was thus born.
Originally, in the name of justice, the use of force was already a manifestation of immorality, and now a series of high-pressure policies have been introduced to force soldiers to only succeed and not to fail, otherwise they and their families will suffer, and this robber logic, no matter how frivolous literary and artistic cover-up is used in the history books, cannot change the tyrannical and incompetent nature behind it.
Therefore, since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, there has been no glory of ideals and benevolence, he has opened the end of evil government, and since then, the robber logic of "justice in the barrel of the gun" has been rampant, and the system of killing heads and the system of sitting together has become more and more perfect, until it has become the institutional gear of the king's rule.
The things of the gods are a decadent trend
The successors after the Kai were even more mediocre, either indulging in wine or neglecting their duties all day. Therefore, Sima Laozi was also estimated to be confused, so he avoided talking about any deeds, so he directly recorded the order of succession of thrones.
"Zhongkang collapsed, and the sons and emperors stood together." Emperor Xiang collapsed, and the sub-emperor Shao Kangli. Emperor ShaoKang collapsed, and the son Emperor Yuli was established. Emperor Yubang, zidi Huaili. Emperor Huai collapsed, and the sub-emperor Mangli stood. Emperor Mangbang, The Son Emperor was disillusioned. The emperor collapsed, and the sub-emperor did not surrender. The emperor did not fall, and the younger emperor stood. The emperor collapsed, and the sub-emperor stood. Emperor Gongbang, the son of Emperor Li, was created for Emperor Kongjia. ”
It wasn't until Kong Jia's side that Brother Sima accepted it, and probably didn't say a few more words about the Xia Dynasty, so he took it out and said something about infatuation with ghosts and lustful fornication. In fact, this is a common disease of the entire Xia Dynasty, after all, it is in the nascent stage of the dynasty, and when there is nothing to rely on, it has to rely on ghosts and gods and terror.
The political manifestation of this terror is the treatment of force, and Xia's last benevolent brother Jie took this reign of terror to the extreme. He did not know how to negotiate diplomatically as well as modern countries, and as long as there was no peace, he would use force to beat up the princes, and finally because of the anger of the crowd, he was swept away by a big brother named Tang.
Xia Jie
Since then, the Xia Dynasty has been extinguished, and Yin Shang has begun.
