Jié (桀), the seventeenth and last monarch of the Xia Dynasty of China, was a Member of the Huaxia Clan, known as Lǚ guǐ , the son of Fa.
Traditional history books describe Jié as a tyrant: he ignores political affairs, indulges in femininity, and imposes tyranny. The Tongjian Waiji reads: "(Jié) strikes the people's power, and Dān (Dān) the people's wealth." For the sake pond ruins, the pleasure of the mí, a drum and cattle drinkers 3,000 people. As a result, the Shang Tang rebelled, and the Tang Oath said: "There are many sins of Xia, and the Mandate of Heaven (Jí)", jié has the Sōng clan of the Sōng clan (present-day Xi'anyi), and at the Battle of Mingtiao, the Battle of Xia, the Battle of Xia, was defeated, and the Xia Dynasty perished. Jié lamented, "I regret not killing Tang Yu in Xiatai. He died of illness in Nanchaozhishan (present-day Chaohu City, Anhui Province).

Covet pleasure
According to records, Xia Jie (Jié) was able to write and martial arts, and could have become a Ming Emperor, but Xia Jie (Jié) did not use his talents for state affairs.
He came up with a lot of brutal torture, which still feels strange. Jié liked a life of extravagance, and he ordered nine pillars made of gold to be built in the palace, each of which was star-studded. Behind the gorgeous luxury, it is all the painstaking efforts of the people. Throughout the palace, large meat was piled up everywhere, and life was extremely luxurious. The wine pond built by Xia Jie is five square kilometers large, the area is very exaggerated, and occasionally Xia Jie will row a boat, and there are beautiful women at the bow and stern of the boat, and Xia Jie shuttles through the wine pool, laughing and playing with the beautiful women. Xia Jie's happiest time was when a banquet was held in the palace. The palace where the banquet was held could accommodate more than 3,000 people to play, which was enough to see the vast area. Xia Jie ordered the civil and military officials and the people attending the banquet to drink in the wine pool with their necks outstretched, and under the music of the drum band, three thousand people drank together, and the scene was very spectacular.
Brutal and desolate
Jié invented a torture, renamed "cannon branding," which means applying thick anointing oil to copper pillars. Beneath the copper pillar was a thriving charcoal fire, and Jié asked his guards to take the criminals to the main hall. The criminal was ordered to walk on a copper pillar, which was very difficult to walk because of the anointing. When he accidentally fell into the exuberant charcoal fire, Jié looked very happy as he watched the criminals fall into the charcoal fire and make a tragic sound.
Jié is unscrupulous and robs many women across the country and puts them in his harem for fun. At first, the Shi tribe was overwhelmed by the oppression of The Jié and prepared to attack the Jié. In order to consolidate his rule, Xia Jie (夏桀) sent troops to surrender to the Shi clan and asked the Shi clan leader to marry Yu Xi to him as his queen.
Yu Xi has a national posture, and Xia Jie is even more absurd after getting Yu Xi, holding Yu Xi in his arms all day and drinking with Yu Xi. Xia Jie was in the palace, playing with the palace ladies, and did not go to the morning court all day. In his later years, Xia Jie was even more absurd, and he ordered people to build a large pond, called the "Night Palace", and brought a group of men and women to play in the pool every day, and did not go to the early dynasty for several months.
Yu Xi liked to listen to the sound of the silk drapery tearing, so Xia Jie asked the palace maid to bring a large number of silk drapes and tear them to Yu Xi. At that time, silk was very precious and rare, and in order to win the smile of the beauties, Xia Jie violently destroyed the heavenly creatures.
