Biography

吴海,闽县人。
明史卷二百九十八 列传第一百八十六:
  吴海,字朝宗,闽县人。元季以学行称。值四方盗起,绝意仕进。洪武初,守臣欲荐诸朝,力辞免。既而徵诣史局,复力辞。尝言:“杨、墨、释、老,圣道之贼,管、商、申、韩,治道之贼,稗官野乘,正史之贼,支词艳说,文章之贼。上之人,宜敕通经大臣,会诸儒定其品目,颁之天下,民间非此不得辄藏,坊市不得辄粥。如是数年,学者生长不涉异闻,其于养德育才,岂曰小补。”因著书一编曰《书祸》,以发明之。与永福王翰善。翰尝仕元,海数劝之死,翰果自裁。海教养其子偁,卒底成立。平居虚怀乐善,有规过者,欣然立改,因颜其斋曰闻过。为文严整典雅,一归诸理,后学咸宗仰之。有《闻过斋集》行世。
