寵弟充，歷射聲校尉、尚書。 Chong's younger brother Xiang Chong served as colonel of the army of loud-shouting archers and as master of writing.

充闻之曰：“吾闻谯周之言，先帝讳备，其训具也，后主讳禅，其训授也，如言刘已具矣，当授与人也。 Xiang Chong said: "I have heard Qiao Zhou's remark—the Former Lord's taboo name Bei means 'complete,' and the Later Lord's taboo name Shan means 'hand over,' as though the Liu house were finished and due to be handed on.

是岁，拜充为梓潼太守，明年十二月而晋武帝即尊位，炎兴於是乎徵焉。 That year Xiang Chong was appointed governor of Zitong; in the twelfth month of the next year Emperor Wu of Jin took the throne, and Yanxing was thereby fulfilled.
