西汉文帝。名恒。高祖第三子。初封代王。生母薄太后。帝奉养无怠。母尝病三年。帝目不交睫。衣不解带。汤药非亲尝弗进。仁孝闻于天下。系诗颂之。诗曰
Emperor Wén of the western Hàn was named Héng. He was the third son of [Liú Bāng,] the founder of the dynasty. Before he became emperor he was appointed king of Dài [in Shānxī province]. His mother became Queen-Mother Bó[-jī]. the emperor-to-be respectfully tended her and was not idle. His mother took sick for three years. The emperor did not sleep nor even unfasten the belt of his clothes. And if he had not tasted a medicine, it was not brought to his mother. His benevolence and piety were rumored throughout the kingdom. Verses praise him saying:
仁孝闻天下。巍巍冠百王。母后三载病。汤药必先尝。
Benevolence and piety are rumored through the kingdom;
Lofty and eminent he excels a hundred kings;
The Queen-Mother has been sick for three years,
And he always tastes the medicine first.
