Ju, Prince of Guang, was first made a prince in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, enfeoffed at the same time as the seven Princes of Yi, Ying, Yong, Shou, Yan, Sheng and Ji. Soon he was given the post of Area Commander-in-chief of Guang Prefecture. He was brave and strong, good at riding and archery, and the emperor loved him. He lived together with the Prince of E; they were very close and friendly, and both were devoted to learning. After he was deposed he had no heir. Originally Ju was named Ju [written with a different character], the Prince of Yi Wei, the Prince of Ying Yun, the Prince of Yong Ze, the Prince of Shou Qing, the Prince of Yan Hui, the Prince of Sheng Mu, the Prince of Ji Yi, the Prince of Xin Mian, the Prince of Yi Cui, the Prince of Chen Zhi, the Prince of Feng Cheng, the Prince of Heng Hui, the Prince of Liang Cong, and the Prince of Bian Tao; in the twenty-third year an edict changed them all to their present names. Edit
Yi, Prince Dao of Xia, was beautiful and fine from birth, and because his mother was in favour he was dearly loved and given the name Yi. He died before he was out of his mother's arms and was posthumously given his title and posthumous name. The emperor was then at the Eastern Capital, so he was buried on the eastern ridge of Longmen, it is said so that the grave could be seen from the palace. Edit
