Hu Qidan had three sons and nine grandchildren, and he was very happy. According to the genealogical records, Hu Qidan "one hall five generations, although hundreds of ten people, but no more than one person, what is wrong.". Hu jiakui, the eldest son, is "generous and frank" and "never wily"; Hu cancan, the second son, is "frugal" and "magnificent"; Hu jiahuang, the third son, "does not praise others' shortcomings" and "does not show off his own strengths"; and Hu jiahuang, the ninth grandson, "manager merchants are hard-working.".
