祖父武帝時以豪桀自陽翟徙茂陵。 His grandfather, a noted bravo, was resettled from Yangzhai to Maoling under Emperor Wu.

初，武帝時，京兆尹曹氏葬茂陵，民謂其道為京兆仟，涉慕之，乃買地開道，立表署曰南陽仟，人不肯從，謂之原氏仟。 Emperor Wu's Governor Cao had left a "Metropolitan Thousand" funeral avenue at Maoling; Yuan She copied the stunt, labeled his "Nanyang Thousand," but locals dubbed it the Yuan family lane.
