Biography
吴瑛，蕲州蕲春人。
宋史卷四百五十八 列传第二百一十七：
吴瑛，字德仁，蕲州蕲春人。以父龙图阁学士遵路任补太庙斋郎，监西京竹木务，签书淮南判官，通判池州、黄州，知郴州，至虞部员外郎。治平三年，官满如京师，年四十六，即上书请致仕。公卿大夫知之者相与出力挽留之，不听，皆叹服以为不可及，相率赋诗饮饯于都门，遂归。
蕲有田，仅足自给。临溪筑室，种花酿酒，家事一付子弟。宾客至必饮，饮必醉，或困卧花间，客去亦不问。有臧否人物者，不酬一语，但促奴益行酒，人莫不爱其乐易而敬其高。尝有贵客过之，瑛酒酣而歌，以乐器扣其头为节，客亦不以为忤。视财物如粪土，妹婿辄取家财数十万贷人，不能偿，瑛哀之曰："是人有母，得无重忧！"召而焚其券。门生为治田事历岁，忽谢去，曰："闻有言某簿书为欺者，谊不可留。"瑛命取前后文书示之，盖未尝发封也。盗入室，觉而不言，且取其被，乃曰："他物唯所欲，夜正寒，幸舍吾被。"其真率旷达类此。
哲宗朝有荐之者，召为吏部郎中，就知蕲州，皆不起。崇宁三年感疾，即闭閤谢医药，至垂绝不乱。卒，年八十四。
