Xiang was the son of Zhongkang, and his stepfather was the king. However, Hou Yi controlled the old land of Xia at that time, and Xiang could only rely on the Zhenguan, Zhensu and other tribes with the same surname. Hou Yi was left hunting in the fields, and was killed by his confidant Han Zhuo, who instigated his family members. Han Zhuo took over Yi's family and gave birth to a child named Shui He. According to "Zuo Zhuan", Han Zhuo sent water to attack Zou Guan, and then attacked Zou Po, killing the prime minister. The prime minister's wife, Hou Min, was pregnant at the time. She escaped from the wall hole and returned to her mother's home, where she gave birth to a posthumous son, Shao Kang.

According to "Chronicles of Bamboo Book", they live together in pouring water. According to "Zuo Zhuan", after the Wei Kingdom moved its capital to Diqiu (today's Puyang, Henan), Wei Chenggong dreamed that his ancestor Kang Shu said, "We will seize it and enjoy it." It can be seen that Diqiu was also regarded as the former residence of the Queen of Xia.
PoliticsHan Zhuo killed Yi
Hou Yi relied on his archery skills and spent time hunting in the fields. He abandoned virtuous ministers and trusted Han Zhuo. Han Zhuo bought people's hearts, deceived Hou Yi, and finally instigated his family to kill Yi when he returned from hunting, seizing the power of the Youqiong clan.
