During the Xia Yu period, Sun Xizhong, the 12th emperor of ren, served as Che Zheng, the creator of Che, and was enfeoffed in Xue Province, southeast of present-day Tengzhou City, Shandong Province, and established the Xue Hou State, which became a subordinate tribe of the Xia Dynasty, known as Xue Hou. Later, it moved south to Pi, which is now the northwest of Weishan County, Shandong. After Shang Tang destroyed Xia Jie (姬), Xi Zhong's descendant Zhongyu (中虺) became the left phase of Shang Wang Tang and re-lived in Xue, which was between Weishan and Tengzhou in Shandong. By the end of the Shang Dynasty, a descendant of Zhongyu (huī) named Cheng moved the xue state to a place called Zhi, and changed the name of the country to Zhi in the southeast of present-day Runan County. King Wen of Zhou's father married Cheng's daughter Tairen and gave birth to a son named Ji Chang. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, his descendants were Marquis Xue, who later changed his title to Earl, and by the late Spring and Autumn Period Xue Guo moved south to Xia Pi, southwest of present-day Pizhou, Jiangsu.
The state of Xue went through the 64th dynasty of the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday dynasties, and by the middle of the Warring States period, the State of Qi was destroyed, Gongzi Deng ran to the State of Chu, and the King of Chu Huai gave Gongzi Deng as a food yi with Peidi, and the ancient city was in the northwest of present-day Suzhou, Anhui, and the descendants took the state as their clan.
