Surname Ying. Ruled by the Virtue of Water. Capital at Xianyang (the Anxi route; the territory of Jingzhao and Yongzhou). The founding of the state is detailed below King Xuan of Zhou. Qin was the remote descendant of Zhuanxu; his granddaughter was named Nüxiu. When Nüxiu was weaving, a black bird dropped an egg; Nüxiu swallowed it and gave birth to Daye. Daye gave birth to Dafei, who assisted Yu in pacifying the waters and land. Shun granted him the surname Ying.
