純少襲爵士，哀、平間為侍中，王莽時至列卿。 Zhang Chun succeeded to the title while still young; during the Ai and Ping reigns he became attendant-in-chief, and under Wang Mang he advanced to senior ministerial rank.

詔下公卿，大司徒戴涉、大司空竇融議：『宜以宣、元、成、哀、平五帝四世代今親廟，宣、元皇帝尊為祖、父，可親奉祠，成帝以下，有司行事，別為南頓君立皇考廟。 The edict went to the high ministers. Dai She and Dou Rong proposed: "Use the five rulers from Xuan through Ping, with four generations, in place of today's private shrines; Xuan and Yuan as grandfather and father may receive worship from you in person; from Cheng on let officials officiate; add a separate "imperial father" temple for Lord Nandun.
