父稚，魏太師、錄尚書、上黨王。 His father Zhi had been Grand Preceptor of Wei, recorder of the Masters of Writing, and Prince of Shangdang.

時稚作牧壽春，紹遠幼，年甫十三。 At the time his father Zhi was governor of Shouchun; Zhangsun Shaoyuan was only thirteen.

稚管記王碩聞紹遠強記，心以為不然。 Zhi's registrar Wang Shuo heard that Zhangsun Shaoyuan had a prodigious memory and did not believe it.

遂白稚曰：「伏承世子聰慧之姿，發於天性，目所一見，誦之於口。 He therefore told Zhi: "I hear that the heir's brilliance is inborn—that what he sees once he can recite at once.

於是命紹遠試焉。 Zhi then had Zhangsun Shaoyuan tested.

及齊神武稱兵而帝西遷，紹遠隨稚奔赴。 When Gao Huan took up arms and the emperor moved west, Zhangsun Shaoyuan went with his father to join him.
