Biography

吕南公,建昌南城人。
宋史卷四百四十四 列传第二百三:
  吕南公,字次儒,建昌南城人。于书无所不读,于文不肯缀缉陈言。熙宁中,士方推崇马融、王肃、许慎之业,剽掠补拆临摹之艺大行,南公度不能逐时好,一试礼闱不偶,退筑室灌园,不复以进取为意。益著书,且借史笔以褒善贬恶,遂以"衮斧"名所居斋。尝谓士必不得已于言,则文不可以不工,盖意有余而文不足,则如吃人之辨讼,必未始不虚,理未始不直,然而或屈者,无助于辞而已。观书契以来,特立之士,未有不善于文者。士无志于立则已,必有志焉,则文何可以卑贱而为之?故毅然尽心,思欲与古人并。
  元祐初,立十科荐士,中书舍人曾肇上疏,称其读书为文,不事俗学,安贫守道,志希古人,堪充师表科,一时廷臣亦多称之。议欲命以官,未及而卒。遗文曰《灌园先生集》,传于世。
