In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the seventh Shang king, succeeding his brother Tai Geng (Chinese: 太庚). He was enthroned in the year of Dingsi (Chinese: 丁巳) with Bo (Chinese: 亳) as his capital. He ruled for 17 years, was given the posthumous name Xiao Jia and was succeeded by brother Yong Ji (Chinese: 雍己).[1][2][3]
