Biography

周自强,临江路新喻州人。
元史卷一百九十二 列传第七十九:
  周自强,字刚善,临江路新喻州人。好学能文,练于吏事,以文法推择为吏。泰定间,广西洞徭反,自强往见徭酋,说以祸福,中其要害,徭酋立为罢兵,贡方物,纳款请命。事闻于朝,特旨超授广西两江道宣慰司都事。转饶州路经历,迁婺州路义乌县尹。周知民情,而性度宽厚,不为刻深。民有以争讼诉于庭者,一见即能知其曲直,然未遽加以刑责,必取经典中语,反覆开譬之,令其诵读讲解。若能悔悟首实,则原其罪;若迷谬怙恶不悛,然后绳之以法不少贷。民畏且爱,狱讼顿息。民间田税之籍多失实,以故差徭不平,自强出令履亩核之,民不能欺,文簿井井可考,于是赋役平均,贫富乐业。其听讼决狱,物无遁情,黠吏欲以片言欺惑之不可得。由是政治大行,声誉籍甚。部使者数以廉能举于朝,选授抚州路金溪县尹,阶奉议大夫,政绩愈著。以亚中大夫、江州路总管致仕。
