Biography

周是修,泰和人。
明史卷一百四十三 列传第三十一:
  周是修,名德,以字行,泰和人。洪武末,举明经,为霍邱训导。太祖问家居何为。对曰:“教人子弟,教弟力田。”太祖喜,擢周府奉祀正。逾年,从王北征至黑山,还迁纪善。建文元年,有告王不法者,官属皆下吏。是修以尝谏王得免,改衡府纪善。衡王,惠帝母弟,未之藩。是修留京师,预翰林纂修,好荐士,陈说国家大计。燕兵渡淮,与萧用道上书指斥用事者。用事者怒,共挫折之,是修屹不为动。京城失守,留书别友人江仲隆、解缙、胡靖、萧用道、杨士奇,付以后事。具衣冠,为赞系衣带间。入应天府学,拜先师毕,自经于尊经阁,年四十九。燕王即帝位,陈瑛言是修不顺天命,请追戮。帝曰:“彼食其禄,自尽其心,勿问。”
  是修外和内刚,志操卓荦。非其义,一介不苟得也。尝曰:“忠臣不计得失,故言无不直;烈女不虑死生,故行无不果。”尝辑古今忠节事为《观感录》。其学自经史百家,阴阳医卜,靡不通究。为文援笔立就而雅赡条达。初与士奇、缙、靖及金幼孜、黄淮、胡俨约同死。临难,惟是修竟行其志云。
