李渾子湛渾弟繪族子公緒李璵弟瑾族弟曉鄭述祖子元德 Li Hun; his son Zhan; Hun's brother Hui; clansman Gongxu; Li Yu; brother Jin; clansman Xiao; Zheng Shuzu; son Yuande

渾與弟繪、緯俱為聘梁使主，湛又為使副，是以趙郡人士，目為四使之門。 Hun and his brothers Hui and Wei had all been chief envoys on missions to Liang; Zhan again served as deputy envoy — hence men of Zhao commandery called them the Gate of Four Envoys.

繪，字敬文。 Hui, styled Jingwen.

河間邢晏，卽繪舅也，與繪清言，歎其高遠。 Xing Yan of Hejian — Hui's maternal uncle — conversed in pure talk with Hui and admired his loftiness.

時勑侍中西河王、秘書監常景選儒學十人緝撰五禮，繪與太原王乂同掌軍禮。 At the time an edict had the attendant-in-ordinary Prince of Xihe and Secretary Director Chang Jing select ten Confucian scholars to compile the Five Rites; Hui and Wang Yi of Taiyuan together took charge of military rites.

魏靜帝於顯陽殿講《孝經》、《禮記》，繪與從弟騫、裴伯茂、魏收、盧元明等俱為錄議。 Emperor Jing of Wei lectured on the Classic of Filial Piety and the Record of Rites at the Xianyang Hall; Hui and his cousin Qian, Pei Bomo, Wei Shou, Lu Yuanming, and others were all recorders and discussants.

梁武帝問繪：「高相今在何處？」 Emperor Wu of Liang asked Hui, "Where is Chancellor Gao now?"

繪曰：「今在晉陽，肅遏邊寇。」 Hui said, "He is now at Jinyang, sternly repelling border raiders."

繪曰：「黑獺遊魂關右，人神厭毒，連歲凶災，百姓懷土。 Hui said, "Black Badger is a stray spirit in the west, loathed by men and spirits alike; year after year brings fierce calamity and the people yearn for their homeland.

繪曰：「兄所出雖遠，當共車千秋分一字耳。」 Hui said, "Though what you issue from is remote, you should share one character with Che Qianqiu."

前後行人，皆通啟求市，繪獨守清尚，梁人重其廉潔。 Envoys who came before and after all sent letters opening relations and seeking trade; Hui alone kept to purity and loftiness — the men of Liang respected his integrity.
