In the Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian's account of the origin of the House of Ying made him the son of Lady Xiu and the egg of a black bird. He was said to have been the father of Fei the Great, who later became known as Boyi, by the Lady Hua.[1]
Some Chinese scholars have argued that his name was a title or epithet of Gao Yao, who served under Emperor Shun and was counted as the ancestor of some Li and Zhou families.
