Biography

何群,果州西充人。
宋史卷四百五十七 列传第二百一十六:
  何群,字通夫,果州西充人。嗜古学,喜激扬论议,虽业进士,非其好也。庆历中,石介在太学,四方诸生来学者数千人,群亦自蜀至。方讲官会诸生讲,介曰:"生等知何群乎?群日思为仁义而已,不知饥寒之切己也。"众皆注仰之。介因馆群于其家,使弟子推以为学长。群愈自克厉,著书数十篇,与人言未尝下意曲从,同舍目群为"白衣御史"。
  群尝言:"今之士,语言说易,举止惰肆者,其衣冠不如古之严也。"因请复古衣冠。又上书言:"三代取士,皆举于乡里而先行义。后世专以文辞就,文辞中害道者莫甚于赋,请罢去。"介赞美其说。会谏官御史亦言以赋取士无益治道,下两制议,皆以为进士科始隋历唐数百年,将相多出此,不为不得人,且祖宗行之已久,不可废也。群闻其说不行,乃恸哭,取平生所为赋八百余篇焚之。讲官视群赋既多且工,以为不情,绌出太学。群径归,遂不复举进士。
  嘉祐中,龙图阁直学士何剡表其行义,赐号安逸处士。群既死,赵抃守益州,奏群遗稿有益时政,愿诏果州录上之,云:"非若茂陵书起天子侈心也。"寝不下。
