The legendary Hou Yi was created according to Yi in history. The Yi people in history lived in the early summer four thousand years ago. At first, he was the leader of a big tribe in the lower reaches of Ma Jiahe in Dongyi area, and also a famous sharpshooter. Later, he quickly became the leader of the Dongyi nationality by his own ability.
Xia Wang, who was in power at that time, was the grandson of Dayu and the son of Xia Qi, the founder of Xia Dynasty. Taikang indulged in pleasure, regardless of the lives of the people, causing dissatisfaction among the people. Therefore, Yi moved at the right time, overthrew the rule of Taikang by force and seized the state power. However, he did not ascend the throne himself, but made Taikang's younger brother a nominal Wang Xia.
Although Yi was not arrogant and extravagant, his interest in hunting and having fun increased greatly after he took power, which affected his management of state affairs and his power gradually fell into the hands of minister Han Zhuo. Finally, one day, disaster arrival. Ambitious and ruthless, Han Zhuo killed Yi and his son. After Yi's death, Zhong Kang, who was named Xia Wang by Yi, became a pawn in the hands of Han Zhuo, an aspirant. Due to the complete loss of freedom of movement, Zhong Kang was depressed and his health went from bad to worse, and he died soon. Han Zhuo let Zhong Kang's son inherit the throne.
Are you willing to continue to be a puppet like your father and find a chance to escape from the palace? Unfortunately, Han Zhuo's son caught up with him and killed him. Xiang's wife, Hou Yi, was pregnant at this time, and the power of her mother's love helped her escape the search and arrest of splashing water and secretly climbed out of the hole in the wall. In Hou's home, there is another family. She gave birth to a son named Shao Kang.
Later, with the support of the people, Shao Kang captured Anyi, the capital of Xia Dynasty, and killed Yin Cao (Han Zhuo was dead at this time), and the world returned to the descendants of Dayu. This is the "Shao Kang Renaissance" or "Shao Kang Zhongxing" in history. Hou Yi is more than a legend, not only because his historical prototype is a part of the history of "Shao Kang Restoration", but also because there are still traces left by him in the world today.
There are three ancient "tombs" from east to west in the lower reaches of Ma Jiahe in northern Shandong today. The easternmost one is called "Grey Tomb", which is said to be an ancient divination platform and sacrificial platform. The middle one is called the tomb, which is said to be Yi's tomb, and the westernmost one is called Xiao Zhongzi, which is said to be his son's tomb. According to textual research, these three ancient "tombs" are all Longshan cultural sites four or five thousand years ago, which is consistent with the era of easy life.
It turns out that there really is such a person in history, but can this really prove that fairy tales are false? If Hou Yi is false, then the legend of the emperor is true or false. I'm sure these myths must be traced, not just made up at random. So we need to try to find more information to confirm these things.
