祖蠡、父蕘皆為唐名臣。 His grandfather Li and father Rao were both renowned Tang ministers.

明宗崩，居儉以故事為禮儀使，居儉以祖諱蠡，辭不受，宰相馮道即徙居儉為秘書監。 When Mingzong died, Jujian should by precedent have become commissioner of rites, but he declined because his grandfather's taboo name was Li. Chancellor Feng Dao immediately reassigned him to director of the Palace Library.
