元始元年，王莽欲反哀帝政，白太皇太后，立雲太子開明為東平王，又立思王孫成都為中山王。 In Yuanshi 1, Wang Mang, undoing Ai’s policies, persuaded the grand empress dowager to make Yun’s heir Kai Ming king of Dongping and to enfeoff Chengdu, grandson of the Prince of Dongping, as king of Zhongshan.

太皇太后以帝為成帝後，故立東平思王孫桃鄉頃侯子成都為中山王，奉孝王後。 The grand empress dowager, treating Ping as Cheng’s heir, enfeoffed Chengdu—son of Marquis Qing of Taoxiang and grandson of Prince Si of Dongping—as king of Zhongshan to carry on Xing’s line.
