《太平广记·卷二百六十二·嗤鄙五》
阎普敬对于这样的评价有疑问，就派人去问个明白。赵生道：如说是熊罴，必须是宰相之才，才能用这样词语；阎公只不过是个都头而已了，只配称作貔貅。
阎乃质于先容者，俾询之，赵生曰：若云熊罴，即须宰相之才，方当此语。阎公止于都头已来，只销呼为貔貅。
Yan Pujing wondered about such a comment, so he sent someone to ask for clarification. Zhao Sheng said: If you say he is a bear or leopard, he must be talented enough to be the Prime Minister to use such words; however, Mr. Yan is just a constable and only deserves to be called a brave and powerful fighter.
