及至穨當城，生子，因名曰穨當。 When they reached the city of Tuidang, a son was born, and the boy was named Tuidang after the place.

至孝文十四年，穨當及嬰率其眾降漢。 In the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen's reign, Tuidang and Ying led their followers in submitting to Han.

漢封穨當為弓高侯，嬰為襄城侯。 Han enfeoffed Tuidang as the Marquis of Gonggao and Ying as the Marquis of Xiangcheng.

吳楚軍時，弓高侯功冠諸將。 During the Rebellion of Wu and Chu, the Marquis of Gonggao's achievements surpassed those of all the other generals.

穨當孽孫韓嫣，貴幸，名富顯於當世。 Tuidang's descendant through a concubine's line, Han Yan, became a court favorite, and his name and wealth were renowned in his generation.
