Yannian's son: Du Huan.
緩少為郎，本始中以校尉從蒲類將軍擊匈奴，還為諫大夫，遷上谷都尉，雁門太守。
Du Huan began as a gentleman-attendant. In the Benshi era (73–70 BCE) he campaigned against the Xiongnu as a colonel under the Pulei general, then served as remonstrance grandee, commandant of Shanggu, and governor of Yanmen.
元帝初即位，谷貴民流，永光中西羌反，緩輒上書入錢、谷以助用，前後數百萬。

緩六弟，五人至大官，少弟熊歷五郡二千石、三州牧刺史，有能名，唯中弟欽官不至而最知名。
Huan had six younger brothers, five of whom rose to high rank. The youngest, Xiong, served as governor of five commanderies and shepherd or inspector of three provinces with a reputation for competence; only the fifth brother, Qin, never climbed so high yet became the most famous of the line.
緩弟 欽
Huan's younger brother: Du Qin.
鳳父頃侯禁與欽兄緩相善，故鳳深知欽能，奏請欽為大將軍軍武庫令。
Wang Feng's late father, Marquis Qing Wang Jin, had been friendly with Du Huan, so Feng knew Qin's talents well and had him appointed intendant of the arsenal on the general's staff.
欽兄緩前免太常，以列侯奉朝請，成帝時乃薨，子業嗣。
His elder brother Du Huan had earlier been removed as Grand Master of ceremonies but kept his column marquis title with permission to attend court; he died under Emperor Cheng, and his son Du Ye inherited.
