He was born as Zi Xian (子羡). His capital was at Yin.
According to the Bamboo Annals, on the third year of his regime, he ordered Nanzhong to fight Kun Barbarians and built Shuofang (朔方, roughly modern Ordos in Inner Mongolia) in the middle of Kun territory after winning a battle. He also fought the Renfang,[1] eventually capturing and sacrificing their chief.[2]
