| | Dong Xuan served as Luoyang ling and punished powerful and arrogant officials; he held office in the county for five years, and died at the age of seventy-four while still in office. The emperor issued an edict to send envoys to inspect the situation. They found only a coarse cloth quilt covering the body, with his wife and children wailing in grief; there were just several dou of barley, and no other assets at home. The emperor sighed and said, "Only after Dong Xuan's death did I realize how poor he was!"
