In 1798, Hou Xuan composed Western Yin. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info sealed the side branch of the Kunwu clan (hn Xuchang) in Weidi (the former capital of 颛顼, hn Puyang). The Xia Dynasty has always treated the Kunwu clan favorably, and there have been four feudal states, including Kunwu, Wen (hn, Jiaozuo W County, Su (HBLZ County, and Wei State. Later, he was crowned a son of the Kunwu clan in Gu (hn, Puyang F County, so the Xia Dynasty had his own surname, and there were five descendants of the Kunwu clan in the country.

In 1794, there was a great drought.

The reference to the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" is not used here because it is a loophole, because the original "Bamboo Book Chronicle" has been destroyed by the Song Dynasty physicists, and although most of the current circulation is credible, there are also a small number of possible problems. There is no contradiction between the imperial records of the Xia Dynasty and the calculations of the heavenly and earthly branches in the Bamboo Book Chronicle, only the records of two kings contradict the calculations. It is the Hou Xuan and the subsequent Hou Kong Jia. Here is the statement of "Huang Ji Shocking Book": The time of Hou's death is the year of Xin Chou. So Hou Xuan never went to Xin Chou, and reigned for a total of 43 years.

Kong Jia, reigned 1755-1722 BC.

In 1755, after three years of mourning, the son of Bu and the cousin of Hou Xuan, Kong Jia, inherited the throne of the Xia Dynasty and was the fourteenth monarch of the Xia Dynasty. The mourning service is usually held for three years, but it may be earlier or later due to a struggle for the throne or other reasons. But if according to the mention of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", the emperor died in the eighth year, then the Xia Dynasty would have been without an emperor for more than 30 years. It's almost impossible for this to happen.

After Kong Jia ascended to the throne, he got two dragons (or pythons), one female and one male. Kong Jia can't be raised, and it is difficult to find the dragon family, the Fenglong clan, for a while. At that time, the Tao Tang clan had declined, and Liu Lei, a descendant of the Tao Tang clan, had learned to tame dragons from the Feng Long clan in order to serve Kong Jia and be able to raise these dragons.

Kong Jia rewarded Liu Lei, gave him the title of Yulong clan, and asked him to take over the fiefdom of the descendants of the Feng Wei clan (hn Anyang H County Feng Wei clan was a vassal state surnamed Peng in addition to the Great Peng State and Zhuji in the Xia Dynasty, and was also a descendant of Peng Zu. This move caused strong dissatisfaction among the vassal states surnamed Peng, which caused the Great Peng State to fall to the side of the Shang State later.

In 1751, Kong Jia wrote 36 pieces of "Pan Yu Ming" and the poem "Broken Axe".

Kong Jia once hunted in Dongyang Yellow Mountain, and suddenly a strong wind blew in the sky, and the sky was dark. Kong Jia lost his way and walked into a common people's house. The family is giving birth. Someone said, "It's a good day for the monarch to come, and this child must be very lucky." Someone said, "I'm afraid that if I don't enjoy this blessing, this child will definitely suffer disaster." Kong Jia took the boy back and said, "Let him be my son, who dares to harm him?" When the boy grew up, the tent was lifted, the rafters cracked, and the axe fell and cut off his feet, so he had to be the gatekeeper. Kong Jia sighed and said, "Hey, this kind of disaster is fate!" So he composed the song "Broken Axe". This is the earliest oriental music.

In 1749, a female dragon died, and Liu Lei secretly chopped it into meat sauce and offered it to Kong Jia to eat. Kong Jia felt delicious after eating it. Afterwards, Kong Jia saw that there was no female dragon, and the male dragon also looked sick, so he was furious. Liu Lei was afraid, so he moved to Lu County (now Lu Mountain) to live.

During the reign of Kong Jia, he indulged in singing, dancing and wine, and liked to believe in ghosts and gods. The prestige of the Xia Hou clan was declining, and the princes betrayed him one after another. He is a tyrannical and ruthless king. As a result, the leaders of the tribes rebelled one after another, and the Xia Dynasty declined even more and gradually collapsed.

During the Kongjia period, the armament of the Xia Dynasty army was mainly long-range bows and spears. The most common weapons found are arrowheads. There are many types of stone arrowheads and bone arrowheads, there are willow leaf shapes, oblate circles, and more are the remains of the body made of three edges, flat three edges, four edges or round body three edges, most of them are more finely polished, the edges and corners are sharp, there are short collars, so as to insert the arrow shaft, and a few without collar flat triangles or dovetail-shaped, also grind out the side edges. Due to the increased demand, sharp and easy to process mussels were also discovered, and with the development of bronze smelting, long-range weapons such as skeletons with high consumption began to be made of copper.

During the Kongjia period, the Xia Dynasty fought on foot, and the infantry (infantry) was the main type of troops. 2 pieces of **** were found in the Erlitou cultural layer of the Yanshi Gray Mouth Site, which was flattened, sharp, ridged, and worn at the back end. In the ruins of Yanshi Erlitou, there is a copper Ge, which is 32.5 cm long, 20.8 cm long, 3.8-4.8 cm wide, and 3.9 cm wide. There is no diaphragm in the straight aid curve, the ridge rises in the middle of the aid, and the aid surface is obliquely wiped down from the ridge to the blade, and it is convex and thickened near the blade, forming a groove. The blade and the edge are sharper, the aid is slightly wider than the inside, and the junction of the aid is at a right angle. There are wear inside, and there are secret marks between the wearers. The inner and back ends are cast with raised moire, and the production is very fine. "Shangshu Willing Oath" has "If the left does not attack the left, you will not respect the order; the right does not attack the right, you will not respect the order; if the emperor is not the right of the horse, you will not respect the order." The record shows that the chariot has been used in battle, and the members of the chariot are divided into left, right, and royal. The Xia King had compulsory military discipline and rewards and punishments for the fighters, "If you use your life, you will be rewarded to your ancestors; According to what we see today, some of the copper arrowheads of the Xia Dynasty are similar to stones, bones, and mussels, such as the ruins of the second mile of the weir division have flat leaf shape and cross-sectional trapezoidal, and the three-edged sharp ge is also a new type of weapon.

During the Confucian period, there are very few historical records of the military system, but limited documents and archaeological materials can show that it was the beginning of a slave society in China. The Xia Dynasty was born out of a tribal alliance in a clan society, and the Xia Hou clan, who held the state power, was only the most powerful among the many tribes, and was in the position of the "common king" in the world. Adapting to its co-polity, the Xia Hou clan established a national army with slave owners and aristocrats as the backbone and commoners as the foundation. During the war, the Xia king either recruited civilians from the area under his rule as needed, or at the same time recruited tribes with different surnames outside the directly ruled area to fight, and implemented the system of integrating soldiers and peasants with the residence as the people and the soldiers as soldiers at war. The Xia Dynasty convoy is unknown.

There is a record of the Xia King Shaokang's restoration of the country with "Youtian Yicheng and Youzhong One Brigade" in the "Zuo Chuan and Mourning Gong Gong" in the first year of the Mourning Dynasty, and some scholars believe that the "brigade" is an army member formation unit. Some scholars believe that the team is organized according to the production and life of the clan and tribe, and is organized in the decimal system. King Xia is the supreme commander.

During the Kongjia period, the slaves of the Xia Dynasty were mainly converted from captives obtained in the plundering wars between clans and tribes, and some of them were poor members of the clan communes who became slaves.
