父閑，齊始安王遙光揚州治中。 His father Xian had been administrator of Yangzhou under the Prince of Shi'an of Qi, Xiao Yaoguang.

永元末，遙光據東府作亂，或勸閑去之。 At the end of the Yongyuan era Yaoguang seized the Eastern Palace and raised rebellion; some urged Xian to leave him.

閑曰：「吾爲人吏，何所逃死。」 Xian said, "I am a man's officer—where could I flee from death?"

臺軍攻陷城，閑見執，將刑，第二子絳求代死，不獲，遂以身蔽刃，刑者俱害之。 The imperial army attacked and took the city; Xian was seized and about to be executed. His second son Jiang begged to die in his place but was not permitted; he then shielded the blade with his body, and the executioners killed them both.
