初，其母吳淑媛自齊東昏宮得幸於高祖，七月而生綜，宮中多疑之者。 At first his mother Lady Wu Shuyuan, favored by Gaozu after leaving the palace of Qi Emperor Dong Hun, gave birth to Zong in the seventh month; many in the palace doubted him.

綜乃私發齊東昏墓，出骨，瀝臂血試之。 Zong then privately opened the tomb of Dong Hun of Qi, took out the bone, and dripped blood from his arm to test it.

綜乃改名纘，字德文，追爲齊東昏服斬衰。 Zong then changed his name to Zuan, styled Dewen, and went into the one-year mourning hemp for Dong Hun of Qi.
