Dong Fu 董扶

When the government of Emperor Ling declined and the imperial house was beset by troubles, Liu Yan proposed that, since inspectors and administrators obtained their posts by bribery and exploited the people to the point of driving them to revolt, upright senior ministers of good reputation should be chosen as regional governors. Privately, Liu Yan hoped to become Governor of Jiaozhi and escape the troubles of the age. Records, Shu 1 §3–4

While the proposal had not yet been put into effect, the Palace Attendant Dong Fu, a man of Guanghan, told Liu Yan in private, 'The capital is about to fall into disorder, and in the astral field of Yi Province there is the aura of a Son of Heaven.' Hearing Dong Fu's words, Liu Yan turned his sights to Yi Province. Records, Shu 1 §4

Just then complaints that the Inspector of Yi Province, Xi Jian, levied taxes oppressively were heard far and wide, and in Bing Province and Liang Province the inspectors had been killed, so Liu Yan's plan could be carried out. He went out as Army Supervisor Envoy concurrently holding the post of Governor of Yi Province, was enfeoffed as Marquis of Yangcheng, and was charged with arresting Xi Jian and bringing him to justice. Dong Fu too asked to become Chief Commandant of the Western Dependent State of Shu Commandery, and the Prefect of the Grand Granary, Zhao Wei of Baxi, also gave up his post, and both followed Liu Yan. After this, Dong Fu does not appear again in the Biographies of the Two Governors Liu. Records, Shu 1 §5 · 1–11

The Biography of Zhou Qun records that Zhou Qun's father, Zhou Shu, studied the occult arts in his youth under Yang Hou of Guanghan, and that his reputation was second only to that of Dong Fu and Ren An. Records, Shu 12 §9

In his assessment of the Biographies of the Two Governors Liu, Chen Shou said that Wei Bao took Lady Bo into his house after hearing Xu Fu's words and Liu Xin changed his name and courtesy name after seeing the prophetic texts, yet neither could save himself, and that the will of the gods cannot be sought in vain and the Mandate of Heaven cannot be wantonly hoped for. Even so, he wrote, Liu Yan set his heart on the land of Yi after hearing Dong Fu's words, sought a marriage with the Wu family after listening to a physiognomist, and hastily had the carriages and robes of the Son of Heaven made in an attempt to steal the sacred vessel of rule, so that his delusion was great. Records, Shu 1 §21
