諱恒。高祖第三子。封代王。陳平周勃既誅諸呂。遣使迎王至長安即帝位十六年。又後元七年在位。共二十三年壽四十六崩。帝除去肉刑。務行寬大。身衣弋綈。帷帳無文繡。治㶚陵（葬所）皆瓦器。不得以金銀銅鐵為飾。因山不起墳帝專務以德化民海內殷富。天下斷獄數百。幾致刑措。

> Personal name Heng. Third son of Gaozu. Enfeoffed as King of Dai. After Chen Ping and Zhou Bo executed the various Lüs, they sent envoys to welcome the King to Chang'an, where he ascended the imperial throne for sixteen years, and another seven years in the Later Era; on the throne for twenty-three years in total, dying at the age of forty-six. The Emperor abolished corporal punishments and devoted himself to leniency and generosity. He wore robes of coarse black silk, and his bed curtains were without embroidery. The construction of Baling (his burial place) used only earthenware, and it was forbidden to decorate it with gold, silver, bronze, or iron; he made use of the mountain without raising a mound. The Emperor devoted himself exclusively to transforming the people with virtue; within the seas, wealth was abundant. Judicial sentences throughout the realm numbered only in the hundreds, almost reaching the point of setting punishments aside.
