夏代
(?～
前1996年)
夏
芒，生卒年不详，槐帝之子。槐死后继位。在位18年，病死，葬于安邑附近。
芒在位期间，开始了延续数千年的沉祭（即将祭物沉入黄河企求河神的庇护）。
槐在位约四十四年而死。其子
芒继位，举行了隆重的祭黄河仪式。除了把猪、牛、羊沉于河中，还豁出老本，把当年舜帝赐给大禹象征治水成功的“玄圭”（黑色的玉圭）也沉在河水中，表示虔诚。这就是“沉祭”，一直延续了数千年的仪式。祭河之后，
芒又跑到东海之滨游玩，捕捉到了一条很大的鱼，使人想起海明威的《老人与海》。群臣向
芒称贺，认为是河神所赐，可永保太平。
周代以后,沉祭仍很盛行。《周礼·大宗伯》谓:“以狸沉祭山川林泽。”郑玄注释说:“祭山林曰埋,川泽曰沉。”《仪礼·觐礼》也说:“祭川,沉。”水神居住在水下,将祭品沉入水中,容易被水神接受。
