Pei Hui 裴徽

According to the record of Guan Lu, at that time Hua Biao, Administrator of Qinghe, summoned Guan Lu as Literary Clerk. Zhao Kongyao of Anping recommended Guan Lu to Pei Hui, Inspector of Ji Province, saying that Guan Lu was by nature generous and broad-minded and at ease with the world; that looking up at the heavens he shared the subtlety of Gan Gong and Shi Shen, and looking down at the Book of Changes he matched the thought of Sima Jizhu. Records, Wei 29 §71

Zhao Kongyao went on to say that since the enlightened Commissioner was just then turning his mind to the secluded thickets and devoting his attention to the deep marshes, Guan Lu ought to receive the response of the young crane answering the crane that calls in the shade, and find the time when its feathers serve as a model. Records, Wei 29 §71

Pei Hui then summoned Guan Lu as Literary Attendant Officer, and on meeting him was greatly pleased and befriended him. Guan Lu was moved to be Attendant Officer for Julu and then rose to Headquarters Attendant Officer and Attendant Officer with Separate Carriage. Chen Shou goes on to record how, when Guan Lu first set out in answer to the province's summons, he cast a hexagram for himself, and says that Guan Lu was recommended as Flourishing Talent in the 9th year of Zhengshi (248). Records, Wei 29 §72–73

Chen Shou's main text does not record Pei Hui's courtesy name, origin, the years of his birth and death, or how he became Inspector of Ji Province. The assessment at the end of Records of Wei 29 calls only the medicine of Hua Tuo, the music of Du Kui, the physiognomy of Zhu Jianping, the dream interpretation of Zhou Xuan and the divination of Guan Lu subtle and extraordinary skills, and does not mention Pei Hui separately.
