Biography
蔡沉。
宋史卷四百三十四 列传第一百九十三：
沉字仲默，少从朱熹游。熹晚欲著《书传》，未及为，遂以属沉。《洪范》之数，学者久失其传，元定独心得之，然未及论著，曰："成吾书者沉也。"沉受父师之托，沈潜反复者数十年，然后成书，发明先儒之所未及。其于《洪范》数，谓："体天地之撰者《易》之象，纪天地之撰者《范》之数。数始于一奇，象成于二偶。奇者数之所以立，偶者数之所以行。故二四而八，八卦之象也；三三而九，九畴之数也。由是八八而又八八之为四千九十六，而象备矣；九九而又九九之为六千五百六十一，而数周矣。《易》更四圣而象已著，《范》锡神禹而数不传。后之作者，昧象数之原，窒变通之妙，或即象而为数，或反数而拟象，牵合傅会，自然之数益晦焉。"
始，从元定谪道州，跋涉数千里，道楚、粤穷僻处，父子相对，常以理义自怡悦。元定没，徒步护丧以还。有遗之金而义不可受者，辄谢却，之曰："吾不忍累先人也。"年仅三十，屏去举子业，一以圣贤为师。隐居九峰，当世名卿物色将荐用之，沉不屑就。次子抗，别有传。
