Biography

林逋,杭州钱塘人。
宋史卷四百五十七 列传第二百一十六:
  林逋,字君复,杭州钱塘人。少孤,力学,不为章句。性恬淡好古,弗趋荣利,家贫衣食不足,晏如也。初放游江、淮间,久之归杭州,结庐西湖之孤山,二十年足不及城市。真宗闻其名,赐粟帛,诏长吏岁时劳问。薛映、李及在杭州,每造其庐,清谈终日而去。尝自为墓于其庐侧。临终为诗,有"茂陵他日求遗稿,犹喜曾无《封禅书》"之句。既卒,州为上闻,仁宗嗟悼,赐谥和靖先生,赙粟帛。
  逋善行书,喜为诗,其词澄浃峭特,多奇句。既就稿,随辄弃之。或谓:"何不录以示后世?"逋曰:"吾方晦迹林壑,且不欲以诗名一时,况后世乎!"然好事者往往窃记之,今所传尚三百余篇。
  逋尝客临江,时李谘方举进士,未有知者,逋谓人曰:"此公辅器也。"及逋卒,谘适罢三司使为州守,为素服,与其门人临七日,葬之,刻遗句内圹中。
  逋不娶,无子,教兄子宥,登进士甲科。宥子大年,颇介洁自喜,英宗时,为侍御史,连被台移出治狱,拒不肯行,为中丞唐介所奏,降知蕲州,卒于官。
