Biography

宋彦筠,雍丘人。
旧五代史卷一百二十三(周书) 列传三:
  宋彦筠,雍丘人也。初隶滑州军,梁氏与庄宗夹河之战,彦筠时为战棹都指挥使,以劳迁开封府牙校。庄宗有天下,擢领禁军。伐蜀之役,率所部从康延孝为前锋,蜀平,历维、渝二州刺史。明宗在位,连典数郡。晋初,自汝州防御使讨安从进于襄阳,以功拜邓州节度使,累官至检校太尉。未几,历晋、陕二镇。晋少帝嗣位,再领邓州,寻移镇河中。汉初,授太子太师致仕。国初,拜左卫上将军。世宗嗣位,复为太子太师致仕。显德四年冬,卒于西京之私第。辍视朝一日,诏赠侍中。
  初,彦筠入成都,据一甲第,第中资货钜万,妓女数十辈,尽为其所有。一旦,与其主母微忿,遽击杀之,自后常有所睹,彦筠心不自安,乃修浮屠法以禳之,因而溺志于释氏。其后,每岁至金仙入涅之日,常衣斩縗号恸于其像前,佞佛也如是。家有侍婢数十人,皆令削发披缁,以侍左右,大为当时所诮。又性好货殖,能图什一之利,良田甲第,相望于郡国。将终,以伊、洛之间田庄十数区上进,并籍于官焉。
