Dìkù 帝喾 = a legendary emperor
JIǍN Dì 简狄 = his second wife
Xiè 契 = their son
Dìkù 帝喾 (reign01a-6) was one of the great legendary emperors of China, who lived and reigned in the mists of time when the world was still quite young.
Once upon a time his second wife, a lady named JIǍN Dì 简狄, was in the garden minding her own business when a large, dark, slightly careless bird chanced to drop an egg on the ground before her. Being slightly hungry, she ate it. Immediately she became pregnant. The child she bore was named Xiè 契 (written with a character that in other contexts is pronounced qì).
Xiè was the ancestor of the Zǐ 子 clan, which became the ruling house of the Shāng 商 dynasty (period 03).
