  1. ^ Jia Chong's biography in vol.40 of Book of Jin recorded that Xiahou He was shifted to the post of Minister of the Household from Intendant of Henan after Emperor Wu knew about Xiahou's conversation with Jia regarding Sima You's eligibility as crown prince. Note that both You and Sima Zhong (the later Emperor Hui of Jin) were Jia's sons-in-law. Vol.79 of Zizhi Tongjian recorded that the Intendant of Henan in 268 was Du Yu, while Yu Chun (庾純) held the post in 271-272.
  2. ^ Although Xiahou He's birth year was not recorded, it should be between 207 (where his elder brother Xiahou Rong was born) and 219 (where his father died).
  3. ^ Vol.26 of Book of Jin recorded that as Minister of the Household, Xiahou He recommended the construction of three canals in 274 (10th year of the Tai'shi era). ([泰始]十年，光禄勋夏侯和上修新渠、富寿、游陂三渠，凡溉田千五百顷。). This was the last reference to Xiahou in historical records.
