  刘兰,武邑人。年三十余,始入小学,书《急就篇》。家人觉其聪敏,遂令从师,受《春秋》、《诗》、《礼》于中山王保安。家贫无以自资,且耕且学。三年之后,便白其兄:"兰欲讲书。"其兄笑而听之,为立黉舍,聚徒二百。兰读《左氏》,五日一遍,兼通《五经》。先是张吾贵以聪辨过人,其所解说,不本先儒之旨。唯兰推《经》、《传》之由,本注者之意,参以纬候及先儒旧事,甚为精悉。自后经义审博,皆由于兰。兰又明阴阳,博物多识,为儒者所宗。瀛州刺史裴植征兰讲书于州城南馆,植为学主,故生徒甚盛,海内称焉。又特为中山王英所重。英引在馆,令授其子熙、诱、略等。兰学徒前后数千,成业者众,而排毁《公羊》,又非董仲舒,由是见讥于世。永平中,为国子助教。延昌中,静坐读书,有人叩门,门人通焉,兰命引入。其人葛巾单衣,入与兰坐,谓兰曰:"君自是学士,何为每见毁辱,理义长短,竟知在谁,而过无礼见陵也。今欲相召,当与君正之。"言终而出。出后,兰告家人。少时而患卒。
