Biography
郑玉，徽州歙县人。
元史卷一百九十六 列传第八十三：
郑玉，字子美，徽州歙县人。幼敏悟嗜学，既长，覃思《六经》，尤邃于《春秋》，绝意仕进，而勤于教。学者门人受业者众，所居至不能容。学者相与即其地构师山书院以处焉。玉为文章，不事雕刻煅炼，流传京师，揭徯斯、欧阳玄咸加称赏。至正十四年，朝廷除玉翰林待制、奉议大夫，遣使者赐以御酒名币，浮海征之。玉辞疾不起，而为表以进曰：“名爵者，祖宗之所以遗陛下，使与天下贤者共之者，陛下不得私予人。待制之职，臣非其才，不敢受。酒与币，天下所以奉陛下，陛下得以私与人，酒与币，臣不敢辞也。”玉既不仕，则家居，日以著书为事，所著有《周易纂注》。十七年，大明兵入徽州，守将将要致之，玉曰：“吾岂事二姓者耶！”因被拘囚。久之，亲戚朋友携具饷之，则从容为之尽欢，且告以必死状。其妻闻之，使语之曰：“君苟死，吾其相从地下矣。”玉使谓之曰：“若果从吾死，吾其无憾矣。”明日，具衣冠，北向再拜，自缢而死。
