Wo Jia is the son of Zu Yi and the younger brother of Zu Xin. The "Bamboo Book Annals" is written as "Kaijia". It is generally believed that the "Qiang Jia" in the oracle bone inscriptions is Wo Jia. After Zu Xin's death, he succeeded him to the throne, and according to the "Bamboo Book Annals", he took refuge there. After the death of Wo Jia, the throne was not passed to his son Nan Geng, but to his nephew Zu Ding. After Zu Ding's death, Nan Geng inherited the throne, and the two descendants alternated as kings, which is a reflection of the "Rebellion of the Nine Generations".
