In fiction · Investiture of the Gods
Eldest son of King Zhou of Shang, fled after his mother Queen Jiang was killed, and was rescued by Chi Jingzi. When descending the mountain, he was persuaded by Shen Gongbao to defect and help Shang, ultimately dying by the plow, and was appointed as the God of Tai Sui (Jupiter) in charge of the year.
History vs. fiction
Fictional Crown Prince of Zhou and Tai Sui God
In the setting of 「封神演义」, Yin Jiao is the crown prince of King Zhou's main consort. After his mother, Queen Jiang, was murdered, he was pursued and saved by Guang Chengzi. He later came down from the mountain but was swayed by Shen Gongbao to defect and support Shang, ultimately meeting his death by the plow punishment as sworn. However, according to 「史记·殷本纪」, the son of King Zhou of Shang is recorded as Wu Geng (also known as Lu Fu), who, after King Wu conquered Yin, was left in the former Shang lands to continue ancestral sacrifices and later was killed for participating in the Rebellion of the Three Guards. Official history does not record Yin Jiao or Yin Hong. The deeds of Yin Jiao and his posthumous enfeoffment as a deity all originate from folk star worship and fictional novels. According to 「封神演义·第066回」, the original text reads: “只见武吉犁了殷郊。”

黄天化不知殷郊有落魂钟。殷郊摇动了钟;黄天化坐不住鞍鞒,跌将下来。张山走马将黄天化拿了。
把落魂钟对黄天化一愰。黄天化翻下玉麒麟来
