宋大明四年，舉秀才，兄璲亦有名，先應州舉，至是別駕東海王元曾與瓛父惠書曰：「比歲賢子充秀，州閭可謂得人。」 In the fourth year of the Daming era of Song (460), he was nominated as Outstanding Talent. His elder brother Sui was also well known and had already taken the provincial nomination in an earlier year. The Vice Prefect Wang Yuanceng of Donghai then wrote to Huan's father Hui: "In recent years your worthy sons have filled the quota of Outstanding Talent; the province and its people may truly be said to have found the right men."
