Unknown birth and death

He is the son of Xie and the younger brother of Bujiang. "Historical Records" only records that "Emperor Bujiang died, and his younger brother Emperor stood up. Emperor Bujiang collapsed, and his younger brother stood up." There are no other deeds to test. Du succeeded his elder brother and passed the throne to his son, so that the throne was once transferred to Du's branch. It was not until his death that Bujiang's son Kongjia inherited the throne. This phenomenon of intertwined inheritance between brothers, uncles and nephews was even more prominent in the Shang Dynasty.
