Chinese Wikipedia says his clan name was Si and his personal name Fa. Wikidata's Chinese label is 發, written 发 in simplified characters, and it lists the title Di Fa as another name, so the heading stays as it is. The article also says his name is written Jing, Jing Fa or Fa Hui, which are variants or other forms and give no single name that could replace Fa. Wikidata describes him as the sixteenth ruler of the Xia dynasty, places him in the Xia dynasty, and gives no birth or death dates.[^wikidata][^zhwiki]\n\n## Lineage\n\nChinese Wikipedia says he was the sixteenth ruler of Xia and the son of Gao. He was the father of Jie, although one view makes him Jie's elder brother.
