楚孝王囂，甘露二年立為定陶王，三年徙楚，成帝河平中入朝，時被疾，天子閔之，下詔曰：「蓋聞『天地之性人為貴，人之行莫大於孝』。 Prince Xiao of Chu, Ao, was enfeoffed as king of Dingtao in Ganlu 2 and transferred to Chu in Ganlu 3. During the He Ping era under Emperor Cheng he came to court but fell ill. The emperor pitied him and issued an edict: "We have heard that 'among the nature of Heaven and Earth, humanity is most prized, and among human conduct nothing is greater than filial piety.'
