In the Records of the Grand Historian he was listed by Sima Qian as the twelfth Shang king, succeeding his father Wai Ren (Chinese: 外壬). He was enthroned in the year of Gengshen (Chinese: 庚申) with Ao (Chinese: 隞) as his capital. In the first year of his reign, he moved his capital to Xiang (Chinese: 相). In the third year of his reign, his Minister Pengbo (Chinese: 彭伯) conquered Pei (Chinese: 邳) who had rebelled against his father. In the fourth year of his reign he launched another attack against the Blue Barbarians. In the fifth year of his reign the Xian (Chinese: 侁人) occupied Banfang (Chinese: 班方) but were later defeated by the king's ministers Pengbo and Weibo (Chinese: 韦伯) and sent an envoy to the Shang.
