Emperor Taizu, Qiyun Liji Yingwu Ruiwen Shende Shenggong Zhiming Daxiao Huangdi, was named Kuangyin; his surname was Zhao, and he was a man of Zhuo Commandery. His great-great-grandfather Tiao, who became Xizu, served under the Tang as magistrate of Yongqing, Wen'an and Youdu in turn. Tiao begot Ting, who became Shunzu; he served as an aide in the regional commands, and rose through office to hold concurrently the post of Vice Censor-in-chief. Ting begot Jing, who became Yizu; he was Prefect of Ying, Ji and Zhuo, three prefectures, in turn. Jing begot Hongyin, who became Xuanzu.
