Zhu was the son of Shao Kang. He was named "Yu" in "Historical Records" and "Ji Zhu" in "Zuo Zhuan". When Shao Kang returned to his country, he was ordered to seduce Han Zhuo's son Qi Yuge and made great achievements. According to the "Bamboo Chronicles", after he ascended the throne, he first lived in Yuan, then moved to Laoqiu, and once went eastward to the seaside. "Guoyu·Luyu" says, "Whoever Zhu can command Yu will be rewarded by the Xia Queen." The Xia people specially worshiped him because he could follow Yu's achievements. After Zhu died, his son Huai came to the throne.

When Shao Kang returned to the country, Zhu was ordered to design to seduce Han Zhuo's son Qi and eliminate him in Ge. This echoed Shao Kang's destruction of Shu Yu Guo and completely eliminated the influence of the Youqiong clan.

There is a saying in "Shiben" that "Zhu made armor", and it is believed that Zhu invented armor for body protection. This kind of statement of "someone made something" is mostly traced back to the Qin & Han people in the Warring States period, and can only reflect the ancients' imagination of the military technology of the Xia Dynasty.
PoliticsMoved the capital to Laoqiu
According to "Bamboo Chronicles", Zhu first lived in Yuan and later moved to Laoqiu. It is generally believed that Laoqiu was located in the area of present-day Jiyuan, Henan Province, and Laoqiu was located near present-day Kaifeng, Henan Province.
MilitaryMarching from the East to the Sea
According to the "Bamboo Chronicles", Zhu once marched eastward to the East China Sea and Sanshou, and "obtained a fox with nine tails." The nine-tailed fox was considered auspicious by the ancients. This record reflects the expansion of Xia people's power to the east.
