孝肅早孤，不識父。 Xiaosu was orphaned early and never knew his father.

及長，問其母父狀，因畫工圖其形，構廟置之而定省焉，朔望享祭。 When he grew up, he asked his mother what his father had looked like, then had a painter render his likeness, built a shrine, and placed the portrait there for daily morning and evening attendance and sacrifice on the first and fifteenth of each month.
