According to legend, when Yao, Shun and Yu were alive, the tribal alliance adopted the method of "abdication" to "select the talents and appoint the talents" and elected the leader of the alliance. For example, Yao was old and gave the position of "king" to the sage Shun. Shun abdicated to Yu, who convened a tribal alliance in Tushan and conquered the three temples again.

Zuo Zhuan records that "all the peoples who hold jade and silk" have joined Tushan League, which shows the appeal of Xia tribe. Once in Huiji (Shaoxing, Zhejiang) Tribal Alliance, Chief Fang Feng was executed for being late. Ancient documents also recorded that Yu paid tribute according to the distance of the vassal tribes, indicating that the Xia clan controlled the surrounding tribes economically.

Yu once elected the famous leader of Yan surname in the East as his successor to show his respect for the traditional abdication system. However, I didn't wait for Yu's demise before I died. Yu also appointed Boyi, the leader of Dongyi, as his successor.

After Yu's death, Yi (Boyi, some people think that Yi is not Boyi, but two people of the same era) held a funeral for Yu in accordance with the tradition of tribal alliance, and mourned for three years. After three years of funeral, Iraq did not gain power, while Kay gained power with the support of the people.
