兄充為驃騎將軍，勸其令仕，准曰：「第五之名何滅驃騎？」 His elder brother He Chong, General Who Gallops as if Flying, urged him to serve; He Zhun replied, "How is the fifth son’s name any less than General Who Gallops as if Flying?"

充居宰輔之重，權傾一時，而准散帶衡門，不及人事，唯誦佛經，修營塔廟而已。 While He Chong wielded chief-ministerial power, He Zhun wore a loosened sash behind a humble gate, ignored public affairs, and devoted himself to Buddhist scripture and temple building.

放繼充。 He Fang succeeded He Chong as head of the lineage.
