According to legend, Yu was successful in managing water and was abdicated by Shun to inherit the throne. With the support of governors, Yu Wang officially acceded to the throne, with Nanyang as its capital and Xia Hou as its title. In the Tang dynasty, the enfeoffment of Danzhu and the enfeoffment of merchants were dangerous. Yu was the first emperor of Xia Dynasty, so later generations also called him Yu. He is a wise emperor in ancient legends of China, who is as famous as Yao and Shun. His most outstanding achievement is that he has been praised for controlling the catastrophic flood, and designated the territory of China as Kyushu. Later generations called him Dayu. Yu was buried in Huiji Mountain (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) after his death, and there are still Yu Temple, Yuling and Yuci. Since Xia Qi, emperors have come to Yuling to offer sacrifices to him.
