昫為人美風儀，與其兄暄、弟暤，皆以好學知名燕、薊之間。 Xu had fine bearing and deportment, and together with his elder brother Xuan and younger brother Hao, he was known in the Yan and Ji region for love of learning.

處直為子都所囚，昫兄暄亦為怨家所殺，昫乃避之滄州。 When Chuzhi was imprisoned by his son Du, and Xu's elder brother Xuan was also killed by an enemy family, Xu took refuge in Cang Prefecture.
