Unknown birth and death

Xiao Jia is the son of Tai Geng and his stepfather ascended the throne. "Historical Records" only records that "the emperor's throne collapsed, and his son Emperor Xiaojia was established. The emperor's family collapsed, and his younger brother Yongji was established." There are no other deeds spread. There is also the name "Xiao Jia" in the oracle bone inscriptions, which belongs to the collateral line of the ancestors. After Xiao Jia's death, the throne was inherited by his two younger brothers Yong Ji and Tai Wu. The Tai Wu line later became the backbone of the throne inheritance.
