Kǒng Jiǎ (孔甲) was a king of ancient China,[1] family name Sì (姒), the 14th ruler of the semi-legendary Xia dynasty.
He had 28 men stand in the shapes of the constellations, and wave huge white flags to imitate the clouds.
When he gave his signal, the thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, clouds waved, and water foamed.
The second dragon keeper was very straight-forward and displeased Kong Jia many times; so he was sentenced to death and poorly buried outside of the capital city.
He and his witches made many magics and prayers; but on the way home Kong Jia was so scared he actually died of fear.
[6] According to the Bamboo Annals, Kong Jia lived in the Xia capital of Xi River (西河).
