汉景帝
Empress Chen was the daughter of Chen Wu (), the Marquess of Tangyi (堂邑侯), and Liu Piao (), the Grand Princess Guantao (館陶長公主, the older sister of Emperor Jing of Han). Empress Chen also had two brothers, Chen Xu (陳須) and Chen Jiao ( different hanzi). There were no authentic historical records of her real name, and the well-known name "A'Jiao" came from Ban Gu's "Hanwu Stories" (漢武故事 / also called "Stories of Han Wudi"), thought to be written during the Wei-Jin period.
