父霓，為雁門部將，生子邈佶烈，以騎射事太祖，為人質厚寡言，執事恭謹，太祖養以為子，賜名嗣源。 His father Ni held a post as an officer of the Yanmen command. Ni’s son Mo Jilie won favor for mounted archery in the service of Li Keyong, the founding sovereign of Jin: steady, sparing of words, exact in duty. Keyong adopted him and gave him the name Siyuan.
