Fa (Chinese: 發, Fā) was the 16th ruler of the Xia dynasty, father of the infamous Jie who brought the dynasty to its end.[1][2]

His given name was Houjing (后敬).

Reign

[edit]

Fa was a son of the King Gao of Xia and thus a grandson of Kong Jia.[3]

During his inaugural celebration, all of his vassals gathered at his palace.

The first earthquake ever recorded took place in the 7th year of his rule at Mount Tai[4] in modern Shandong during his reign. The event has been dated to 1740 BC as the Mount Tai earthquake.[5]

The earthquake was mentioned briefly in the Bamboo Annals.[6][7]
