43 Yin was in decline

A3.13|14|15

Emperor Taijia lived in Tonggong Palace for three years, repented of all the mistakes he made, and then recovered to be good, so Yiyin welcomed him back and reinstated him. Emperor Taijia cultivated virtues, and the princes all came to submit to Yin, and the people were at peace. Yiyin appreciated this and wrote three chapters of "Instructions of Taijia" to praise Emperor Taijia, who then was honored as Taizong the Grand Ancestor. 

After Taizong died, his son Woding succeeded to the throne. When Emperor Woding was in power, Yiyin died. After Yiyin was buried in Bo, Jiushan wanted to use Yiyin's deeds to admonish future generations, so he wrote "Woding". 

After Woding died, his younger brother Taigeng succeeded to the throne, and he was Emperor Taigeng. After Emperor Taigeng died, his son Emperor Xiaojia succeeded to the throne. After Emperor Xiaojia died, his younger brother Yongji succeeded to the throne, and he was Emperor Yongji. At this time, Yin was in decline, and some princes did not show up to the court.

帝太甲居桐宫三年，悔过自责，反善，于是伊尹乃迎帝太甲而授之政。帝太甲修德，诸侯咸归殷，百姓以宁。伊尹嘉之，乃作太甲训三篇，襃帝太甲，称太宗。

太宗崩，子沃丁立。帝沃丁之时，伊尹卒。既葬伊尹于亳，咎单遂训伊尹事，作沃丁。

沃丁崩，弟太庚立，是为帝太庚。帝太庚崩，子帝小甲立。帝小甲崩，弟雍己立，是为帝雍己。殷道衰，诸侯或不至。
