The history of resurgence period in Xia dynasty includes the losing country by Tai Kang(太康),the usurpation of Xia regime by Hou Yi(后弈)and Han Zhuo(寒浞)and the resurgence in Shao Kang(少康)period.The Sigao(四告)of the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips provides new materials for the study of the history of Xia that can be corroborated with handed-down documents.Now from points of view of content details,textual relationships,the names of three Kangs and the duration of Xia dynasty,we can find that the history of resurgence period in Xia dynasty is a highly credible recording narrated by the people of Zhou dynasty.It was probably written down as literature in the Zhou royal court,survived in Jin(晋)and Wei(魏)during the Eastern Zhou period,and later spread to Chu(楚).The text recording the usurpation of Xia regime by Hou Yi and Han Zhuo remained a little-known history until the early Eastern Han dynasty,and was not included in the Zuozhuan(左传).By the middle of the Eastern Han dynasty,the text had been added into Zuozhuan so that the history of resurgence period in Xia dynasty became well-known.Most modern scholars considered the ancient history a consequence of"the historization of myths";while the history of Xia demonstrated the appearance of"the mythologization of history".According to this case study,we can recognize the composition and spread of ancient literature,the reliability of the history of Xia and the academic status of the Movement of Critiquing Ancient History(古史辨运动).
