Profile
Dong Hui was a man of Xiangyang who served Shu as a Gentleman of the Palace. The Records give him no biography of his own; he appears once, in the account of Dong Yun in the Biographies of Dong, Liu, Ma, Chen, Dong and Lü in Records of Shu 9. Records, Shu 9 §30
When Dong Yun had arranged an outing and banquet with the Director of the Imperial Secretariat Fei Yi and others and had even made his carriages ready, Dong Hui came to pay his respects, and Dong Yun gave up going out for the sake of this young man of low rank. Chen Shou cited this as an example of Dong Yun's keeping to the right path and humbling himself before men of worth. Records, Shu 9 §30–31
Chen Shou's main text does not record Dong Hui's courtesy name, his later career or his death, and the Records contain no assessment of him. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Shu 9 §30
In the Records
Dong Yun once arranged an outing and banquet with the Director of the Imperial Secretariat Fei Yi, the Supervisor of the Central Army Hu Ji and others, and the carriages had already been made ready, when Dong Hui of Xiangyang, a Gentleman of the Palace, came to pay his respects to Dong Yun. Because Dong Hui was young and of low rank, when he saw that Dong Yun had stopped his outing he hesitated and made to withdraw. Records, Shu 9 §30
Dong Yun would not allow it, saying that he had been going out only to enjoy talk with like-minded friends, and that now that Dong Hui had condescended to come in person and they were just about to pour out long-pent feelings, it would not be right to abandon this conversation for that banquet. He then ordered the outside horses unhitched, and Fei Yi and the others also stopped their carriages and did not go. Chen Shou wrote that Dong Yun's keeping to the right path and humbling himself before men of worth were generally like this. Records, Shu 9 §30–31
This passage is the only place in Chen Shou's main text where Dong Hui appears. His courtesy name, his later career and his death are not recorded, and the Records contain no assessment of him. Records, Shu 9 §30
