Hou Ji, surnamed Ji, was abandoned by Sun Ming, the eldest son of Huangdi V, the ancestor of Zhou Dynasty. Hou Ji was born in Jishan (now Jishan County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province), and is called King Ji (also known as Ji God or Saturnalia). The King of Qi once taught people to grow crops on the mountains in the south of the county seat. Later, this mountain was called Jiwangshan, which belonged to Jin and was located in wenxi county, Hedong County, Han Dynasty. In the eleventh year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gaoliang County was established, so in the eighteenth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, Gaoliang County was changed to Jishan County. She was born in the old city (now southwest of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province), and her mother was Jiang Yuan, the concubine of Di Ku Gaoxin family. Yao was once named "agricultural teacher" and Shun was named Hou Ji. Hou Ji taught people to farm and was regarded as the first person to start planting millet and wheat.
