Qiu was first enfeoffed as Prince of Ze by Succession, then reduced to Duke of Ying. He served as Chief of the Imperial Clan and Chief Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments, and was raised to Prince of Baoxin. Earlier, Zhang Jiuling had written the "Ode to the Dragon Pool", which was carved in stone at the Xingqing Palace; the princes of the clan held that it did not match the emperor's great virtue, and Qiu was ordered to write a new ode instead, which was set up north of the Hua'e Tower. Early in Tianbao he was again appointed Chief Minister of the Court of the Imperial Clan. He was loving towards his brothers and quick of mind, and whenever a member of the clan had any merit, he never failed to recommend him; so most of the clansmen serving in the ministries owed their start to Qiu. When he died he was posthumously made Grand Area Commander-in-chief of Jiangling Commandery. He had three sons: Qian was Duke of Ying and Prefect of Zizhou, and Xun was Duke of Runan Commandery. Qingu was enfeoffed as Duke of Si, and his son Ben succeeded him. Edit
