The story of Emperor Yu of the Xia dynasty is well known to all Chinese. In Taiwan's history textbooks, he is a sage gratefully venerated by the common people for his success in taming the waters. His achievements, and the fact that his son Qi was wise and able, won him the support of the nobles and allowed him to found a hereditary dynasty.
夏禹的故事中國人都不陌生，台灣的歷史教科書裡他是位賢君，治水有功，百姓對他很感恩，因為他的功績，加上兒子啟很賢能，故受諸侯擁戴，開王位傳弟、傳子之局。
