孫休立，封和子皓爲烏程侯，自新都之本國。 When Sun Xiu took the throne he enfeoffed Sun He's son Sun Hao as marquis of Wucheng, who traveled from Xindu to his fief.

休薨，皓即阼，其年追謚父和曰文皇帝，改葬明陵，置園邑二百家，令、丞奉守。 After Sun Xiu died Sun Hao succeeded; the same year he posthumously titled his father Sun He as Emperor Wen, reinterred him at Ming Mausoleum with a two-hundred-household funerary estate under magistrate and assistant.

巫覡言見和被服，顏色如平生日，皓悲喜涕淚，悉召公卿尚書詣闕門下受賜。〉 Mediums claimed Sun He appeared in court dress, his face as in life; Sun Hao wept for joy and sorrow and summoned the high ministers to the gate to receive blessings.〉

〈《吳歷》曰：和四子：皓、德、謙、俊。〈The Wu li lists four sons of Sun He: Sun Hao, Sun De, Sun Qian, and Sun Jun.

孫霸字子威，和弟也。 Sun Ba, styled Ziwei, was Sun He's younger brother.

和爲太子。 Sun He held the position of crown prince.

霸爲魯王，寵愛崇特，與和無殊。 Sun Ba was Prince of Lu, yet Sun Quan showered him with favor that matched the heir apparent in every outward respect.

頃之，和、霸不穆之聲聞於權耳，權禁斷往來，假以精學。 Word soon reached Sun Quan that the two brothers were estranged; he barred them from visiting each other, citing the need for diligent study.

時全寄、吳安、孫奇、楊笁等陰共附霸，圖危太子。 Quan Ji, Wu An, Sun Qi, Yang Zhu, and others secretly backed Sun Ba and plotted against the crown prince.

譖毀旣行，太子以敗，霸亦賜死。 Slander did its work: the crown prince fell, and Sun Ba too was condemned to death.

霸賜死後，又誅寄、安、奇等，咸以黨霸搆和故也。 After Sun Ba's death, Quan Ji, Wu An, Sun Qi, and the rest were put to death for plotting with him against Sun He.

孫皓即位，追和、霸舊隙，削基、壹爵土，與祖母謝姬俱徙會稽烏傷縣。 When Sun Hao succeeded, he revived the old feud between Sun He and Sun Ba, stripped Ji and Yi of their titles and fiefs, and exiled them with their grandmother Lady Xie to Wushang in Kuaiji.
