Biography

韦謏,京兆人。
晋书卷九十一 列传第六十一:
  韦謏,字宪道,京兆人也。雅好儒学,善著述,于群言秘要之义,无不综览。仕于刘曜,为黄门郎。后又入石季龙,署为散骑常侍,历守七郡,咸以清化著名。又征为廷尉,识者拟之于、张。前后四登九列,六在尚书,二为侍中,再为太子太傅,封京兆公。好直谏,陈军国之宜,多见允纳。著《伏林》三千余言,遂演为《典林》二十三篇。凡所述作及集记世事数十万言,皆深博有才义。
  至冉闵,又署为光禄大夫。时闵拜其子胤为大单于,而以降胡一千处之麾下。謏谏曰:"今降胡数千,接之如旧,诚是招诱之恩。然胡羯本为仇敌,今之款附,苟全性命耳。或有刺客,变起须臾,败而悔之,何所及也!古人有言,一夫不可狃,而况千乎!愿诛屏降胡,去单于之号,深思圣五苞桑之诫也。"闵志在绥抚,锐于澄定,闻其言,大怒,遂诛之,并杀其子伯阳。
  謏性不严重,好徇己之功,论者亦以是少之。尝谓伯阳曰:"我高我曾重光累徽,我祖我考父父子子,汝为我对,正值恶抵。"伯阳曰:"伯阳之不肖,诚如尊教,尊亦正值软抵耳。"謏惭无言。时人传之,以为嗤笑。
