漢初，魏無知封高良侯，子均，均子恢，恢子彥。 In the early Han dynasty, Wei Wuzhi was made Marquis of Gaoliang; from him came Jun, from Jun came Hui, and from Hui came Yan.

彥子歆，字子胡，幼孤有志操，博洽經史，成帝世，位終鉅鹿太守，[2]仍家焉。 Yan's son Xin, styled Zihu, lost his father early but possessed strong character. Well read in the classics and histories, he served during Emperor Cheng's reign and ultimately became Administrator of Julu, [2] where the family established its home.
