It's very debatable because many of the things done by Xia is a thing of legends, even though some archeological evidence about writing and agriculture has been found. There are even older rulers of ancient China who reigned as far back as 2900 B. C., but the stories tell that they were half men half animals and it's very fairy tale like.
