There is a headless person standing with a Dagger-Axe and shield, named Xià Gēng Zhī Shī. Formerly, Chéngtāng [成湯] attacked Jié [桀] of Xià [夏] at Mount Zhāng [章] and defeated him, beheading Gēng [耕] before him. Gēng [耕] then stood up, headless, and fled his calamity, descending to Mount Wū [巫].From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
