Biography

刘臻,沛国相人。
北史卷八十三 列传第七十一:
  刘臻,字宣挚,沛国相人也。父显,《南史》有传。臻年十八,举秀才,为邵陵王东阁祭酒。元帝时,迁中书舍人。江陵平,归魏为中书侍郎。周冢宰宇文护辟为中外府记室,军书羽檄,多成其手。后为露门学士,授大都督,封饶阳县子。历蓝田令、畿伯下大夫。隋文帝受禅,进位仪同三司。左仆射高颎之伐陈也,以臻随军主文翰,进爵为伯。皇太子勇引为学士,甚亲狎之。
  臻无吏干,又性惚怳,耽经覃思。至于世事,多所遗忘。有刘讷者,亦任仪同,俱为太子学士,情好甚密。臻住城南,讷住城东。臻尝欲寻讷,谓从者曰:"汝知刘仪同家乎?"从者不知寻讷,谓臻还家,因答曰:"知。"于是引之而去。既扣门,臻尚未悟,谓至讷家,乃据鞍大呼曰:"刘仪同可出矣。"其子迎门,臻惊曰:"汝亦来邪?"其子答曰:"此是大人家。"于是顾眄久之,乃悟,叱从者:"汝大无意,吾欲造刘讷耳!"性好啖蚬,以音同父讳,呼为扁螺,其疏放多此类也。
  精于两《汉书》,时人称为《汉》圣。开皇十八年,卒。有集十卷,行于世。
