In the bingwu year (the second year of the Yixi era of Emperor An of Eastern Jin), he occupied Shuofang and called his state Great Xia. In the following year, he established the reign era called Longsheng. In the guichou year, the Xia ruler Bobo placed Chagan Ali in charge as Chamberlain for the Palace Buildings, mobilised one hundred thousand barbarians and Chinese north of the ranges, and built his capital city in Shuo Prefecture (belonging to Mayi Commandery in Mayi of Jizhou domain, Xijing Circuit, Shanxi Dao, Hedong). He said, 'We are about to unify all under heaven and rule over the ten thousand states; it is fitting to name the new city Tongwan.' He changed the reign era to Fengxiang. Bobo considered that his ancestors had adopted the maternal surname Liu, which was contrary to propriety. Ancients had no permanent lineage names, so he changed his surname to Helian, saying that emperors and kings connect to Heaven as its sons, and their brilliant eminence connects with Heaven. Reaching the second year of Yuanjia of Song (the yichou year), Chang came to the throne, and the reign year was called Chengguang. In the third year of Chengguang, Xi Jin of Northern Wei and Ding, Duke of Pingyuan of Xia, confronted each other at Chang'an. In the wuchen year, Chang changed the reign era to Dingsheng. Emperor Shou of Wei took advantage of the vulnerability to attack Tongwan. The Xia ruler Chang's army collapsed, and Chang fled to Shanggui. The Wei ruler entered Tongwan, capturing tens of thousands of Xia dukes, ministers, empresses, consorts, and palace ladies, as well as tens of millions of horses, cattle, and sheep, with treasury treasures beyond count. In the second month of the fifth year of Yuanjia of Song, General Who Pacifies the North of Wei, Yujuan, attacked Chang at Shanggui and captured him. Chang was sent to Pingcheng (the Wei capital). The Wei ruler accommodated Chang within the Western Palace Gate, providing him with utensils second only to the imperial carriage, gave his younger sister Princess Chuping to him in marriage, and bestowed upon him the title Duke of Kuaiji. Xia was destroyed after a total of twenty-four years. The Helian clan was none other than Qugai. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.119) - [Next: 2.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.121) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.2.120) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.120) · Pramāṇa
