二叔父曰萬友、萬詮，兄曰敬儒，弟曰敬威、敬德、敬殷、敬赟、敬暉、重胤，子曰重貴、重信、重乂、重英、重進、重睿、重杲，孫曰延煦、延寶。 The two paternal uncles were Wanyou and Wanyuan; the elder brother, Jingru; the younger brothers Jingwei, Jingde, Jingyin, Jingyun, Jinghui, and Chongyin; the sons Chonggui, Chongxin, Chongyi, Chongying, Chongjin, Chongrui, and Chonggao; the grandsons Yanxu and Yanbao.

孝平皇帝生孝元皇帝、萬友、萬詮，孝元皇帝生高祖，萬友生敬威、敬赟，萬詮生敬暉，而敬儒、敬德、敬殷、重胤皆不知其於高祖為親疏也。 Emperor Xiaoping fathered Emperor Xiaoyuan, Wanyou, and Wanyuan; Emperor Xiaoyuan fathered Gaozu; Wanyou fathered Jingwei and Jingyun; Wanyuan fathered Jinghui; but whether Jingru, Jingde, Jingyin, and Chongyin stood near or far from Gaozu in kinship is unknown.

石氏世事軍中，萬友、萬詮職卑不見。 The Shi house had long served in the army; Wanyou and Wanyuan held humble posts and leave no trace in the records.

萬詮亦自金紫光祿大夫、檢校司空兼御史大夫、上柱國贈太傅。 Wanyuan was likewise raised from Grand Master of Splendid Happiness, acting Minister of Works, concurrent Grand Censor, and Pillar of the State to Grand Tutor.

出帝天福八年五月，追封皇叔祖萬友為秦王，萬詮加贈太師，追封趙王。 In the fifth month of Tianfu 8 under the Fleeing Emperor, the imperial great-uncle Wanyou was posthumously made Prince of Qin; Wanyuan received an added grant of Grand Preceptor and was posthumously made Prince of Zhao.
