Jie (Chinese: 桀) was the last emperor of the Xia dynasty of China, and is blamed for its fall. He reputedly mistreated his people and became a tyrant. Around 1700 BC, Tang, a leader of the Shang people to the east, succeeded in defeating Jie, bringing an end to the Xia dynasty and founding the Shang dynasty. |
