《陈书·本纪·卷一》
反贼杜宠凶残横暴，蹂躏荼毒具区的百姓，倚仗着他的军队，而行残暴之道，依靠天灾人祸而乘机取利，从远古时期人类还未产生，衹有鸟兽之迹，天地未开，仍是一片浑沌蒙昧的时候起，凡有杀戮之事，都没有像他这么残酷的。
贼龛凶横，陵虐具区，阻兵安忍，凭灾怙乱，自古虫言鸟迹，浑沌洪荒，凡或虔刘，未此残酷。
The traitorous rebel Du Chong was savagely violent and cruel, and oppressed the people of the prefecture, relying on his army to commit these cruel acts, depending on natural and man-made disasters to take advantage of the situation, and ever since the most ancient times when humanity had not yet been born, and there was only the evidence of birds and beasts, and before Heaven and Earth were opened and were still in chaos and darkness, there has never been a killing as savage as his.
