因勑尚書陽休之、鴻臚卿崔劼等三人，每日本職務罷，並入東廊，共舉錄歷代廢禮墜樂、職司廢置、朝饗異同、輿服增損。 He ordered director of the Masters of Writing Yang Xiuzhi, director of ceremonies Cui Jie, and one other — three men — each day when their proper duties ended, all to enter the eastern corridor and together record rites fallen and music lost through the ages, offices abolished, court sacrifice differences, carriage dress additions and subtractions.

雖久處朝行，歷官清顯，與邢卲、魏收、陽休之、崔劼、徐之才之徒比肩同列，諸人或談說經史，或吟詠詩賦，更相嘲戲，欣笑滿堂，惇不解劇談，又無學術，或竟坐杜口，或隱几而睡，深為勝流所輕。 Though he long walked the court ranks and held clear, eminent offices, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xing Shao, Wei Shou, Yang Xiuzhi, Cui Jie, Xu Zhicai, and the like—some discussed the classics and histories, some chanted poetry and rhapsodies, mocking one another in turn with laughter filling the hall—Dun did not understand lively talk and had no learning; sometimes he sat the whole time with sealed lips, sometimes hid behind a desk and slept, and was deeply slighted by the leading circles.
