二叔父曰萬友、萬詮，兄曰敬儒，弟曰敬威、敬德、敬殷、敬赟、敬暉、重胤，子曰重貴、重信、重乂、重英、重進、重睿、重杲，孫曰延煦、延寶。 The two paternal uncles were Wanyou and Wanyuan; the elder brother, Jingru; the younger brothers Jingwei, Jingde, Jingyin, Jingyun, Jinghui, and Chongyin; the sons Chonggui, Chongxin, Chongyi, Chongying, Chongjin, Chongrui, and Chonggao; the grandsons Yanxu and Yanbao.

孝平皇帝生孝元皇帝、萬友、萬詮，孝元皇帝生高祖，萬友生敬威、敬赟，萬詮生敬暉，而敬儒、敬德、敬殷、重胤皆不知其於高祖為親疏也。 Emperor Xiaoping fathered Emperor Xiaoyuan, Wanyou, and Wanyuan; Emperor Xiaoyuan fathered Gaozu; Wanyou fathered Jingwei and Jingyun; Wanyuan fathered Jinghui; but whether Jingru, Jingde, Jingyin, and Chongyin stood near or far from Gaozu in kinship is unknown.

高祖叔、兄與弟敬殷、子重進，皆前即位卒，而敬威、敬德、重胤、重英，高祖反時死。 Gaozu’s paternal uncles, elder brother, younger brother Jingyin, and son Chongjin all died before his accession; Jingwei, Jingde, Chongyin, and Chongying died when Gaozu rose in rebellion.

敬德時為沂州馬步軍指揮使，以高祖反誅。 Jingde, then commander of Yizhou’s horse and foot, was executed when Gaozu rebelled.

天福二年正月，贈敬威、敬德皆為太傅，並贈敬殷以檢校太子賓客，亦贈太傅，而不及敬儒。 In the first month of Tianfu 2, Jingwei and Jingde were both posthumously made Grand Tutor; Jingyin received the same with the acting post of Guest of the Heir Apparent—but Jingru was passed over.

七年正月，追封敬威廣王，敬德福王，敬殷通王，皆贈太尉。 In the first month of the seventh year, Jingwei was posthumously made Prince of Guang, Jingde Prince of Fu, and Jingyin Prince of Tong; each also received Grand Commandant.
