Origin and Story of 同心戮力
In the late Xia Dynasty, the last monarch, King Jie, was notoriously cruel. His ruthless rule at home led to widespread discontent among the populace, who suffered greatly.
Tang, the wise ruler of Shang, a smaller vassal state, enlisted the help of the great sage Yi Yin. With Yi Yin's assistance, the state of Shang grew incredibly powerful. When Tang felt the time was right, the monarch and his minister, united in heart and mind and exerting all their efforts, finally succeeded in overthrowing the Xia Dynasty.
