Máng (芒) was the ninth ruler of the possibly legendary Xia Dynasty. He possibly ruled 18 years. He was also known as Huang (荒).
He took the throne in the year of Renshen (壬申). He celebrated his inauguration by giving precious jades to all his vassals.
In the 33rd year of his regime, the Shang Vassal Zihai (子亥) moved his capital from Shangqiu (商丘) to Yin (殷) for the very first time.
According to the Bamboo Annals, he caught a big fish when he was sailing in the East China Sea.
