knowledge Jin was a ruler of the Xia dynasty in early Chinese antiquity. Chinese Wikipedia says his clan name was Si and his personal name Jin (廑), and Wikidata's Chinese label is also 廑, so the heading stays as it is. He has other names, Yin Jia, Guang, Xu, Dong Jiang, Chan and another form of Jia, of which Wikidata lists Yin Jia as an alias; these are variants or other forms, and the article gives no single name that could replace 廑. Wikidata describes him as the thirteenth king of the Xia dynasty and gives only a century-level date around 1900 BCE for his death, which this entry does not use.[1][2]
Lineage and reign
Chinese Wikipedia says he was the thirteenth ruler of the Xia dynasty and the son of Jiong, and Wikidata also gives his father as Jiong. The Diwang shiji records that he reigned for twenty years. He had no son, and his successor was his cousin Kong Jia.[2][1]
Legendary omen
The article cites the Bamboo Annals as saying that ten suns appeared in the sky during his reign, and the Tongjian waiji, quoting the Bamboo Annals, says he died in the year when ten suns appeared together. These are traditional records in ancient books, and the article gives no archaeological material to confirm them.[2]
