Emperor Qi of the Xia Dynasty was the son of Yu, and his mother was a daughter of the Tushan clan.

The Youhu family was disobiedient, so Qi launched an attack, and there was a fierce battle in Gan. Before the battle started, Qi wrote "Gan's Oath" and summoned up the commanders of the six armies and admonished them. Qi said: "Ah! Soldiers of the Sixth Army, I swear to you: The Youhu clan insulted the five laws of the heaven and despised the affairs of three righteousness in the world, and the Heaven is now cutting off their fate. Now I respectfully carry out the Heaven's punishment. The left charioteer do not complete the mission of the left charioteer, the right do not complete the right, you are not obeying my order. Driving chariot is not the bussiness of the horses, you are not obeying my order. Those who obey the order will be rewarded in the ancestral temple; those who disobey the order will be punished in front of the altar, and the same also goes to your wife and children." The Youhu clan was then successfully destroyed. All the princess in the world came in to Qi's court.

Emperor Qi of Xia Dynasty died, and his son Emperor Taikang succeeded to the throne. Then when Emperor Taikang lost his country, his five younger brothers waited on the bend of Luoshui River and composed "The Song of the Five Sons".

Taikang died and his younger brother Zhongkang succeeded to the throne, and this was Emperor Zhongkang. During the reign of Emperor Zhongkang, the Xi family and the He family, who were in charge of the four seasons of heaven and earth, indulged in wine and sex, neglected their duties, became a disturbance of the time. Yin was ordered to go to conquer them and wrote "Yin’s Conquer" was written.

夏后帝启，禹之子，其母涂山氏之女也。

有扈氏不服，启伐之，大战于甘。将战，作甘誓，乃召六卿申之。启曰：“嗟！六事之人，予誓告女：有扈氏威侮五行，怠弃三正，天用剿绝其命。今予维共行天之罚。左不攻于左，右不攻于右，女不共命。御非其马之政，女不共命。用命，赏于祖；不用命，僇于社，予则帑僇女。”遂灭有扈氏。天下咸朝。

夏后帝启崩，子帝太康立。帝太康失国，昆弟五人，须于洛汭，作五子之歌。

太康崩，弟中康立，是为帝中康。帝中康时，羲、和湎淫，废时乱日。胤往征之，作胤征。
