放子純 Zhang Fang's son: Zhang Chun.

放子純嗣侯，恭儉自修，明習漢家制度故事，有敬侯遺風。 Zhang Chun, Zhang Fang's son, succeeded to the marquisate. He was modest, frugal, and self-disciplined, thoroughly versed in Han institutions and precedent, and carried something of the old Marquis Jing's manner.

王莽時不失爵，建武中歷位至大司空，更封富平之別鄉為武始侯。 He kept his title even under Wang Mang, and in the Jianwu era rose step by step to grand minister of works; he was re-enfeoffed with a detached village of Fuping as marquis of Wushi.
