年數歲，所生母郭氏，久嬰痼疾，晨昏溫清，嘗藥捧膳，不闕一時，勤容戚顏，未嘗暫改。
While still a small boy, he cared for his birth mother of the Guo clan, who had long suffered a chronic illness. Morning and evening he saw to her comfort, tasted her medicine, and brought her food without missing a single hour; his devoted manner and sorrowful face never changed, even for a moment.
母為病畏驚，微踐過甚，一家尊卑，感㬭至性，鹹納屢而行，屏氣而語，如此者十餘年。
Because his mother feared being startled by noise in her illness, even the lightest footfall was too much; moved by Jiao's devotion, everyone in the household, high and low alike, removed their shoes and walked on tiptoe, speaking only in hushed breaths—for more than ten years.
