Biography

黄宪,汝南慎阳人。
后汉书卷五十三 周黄徐姜申屠列传第四十三:
  黄宪字叔度,汝南慎阳人也。世贫贱,父为牛医。
  颍川荀淑至慎阳,遇宪于逆族,时年十四,淑竦然异之,揖与语,移日不能去。谓宪曰:"子,吾之师表也。"既而前至袁阆所,未及劳问,逆曰:"子国有颜子,宁识之乎?"阆曰:"见吾叔度邪?"是时,同郡戴良才高倨傲,而见宪未尝不正容,及归,罔然若有失也。其母问曰:"汝复从牛医儿来邪?"对曰:"良不见叔度,不自以为不及;既睹其人,则瞻之在前,忽焉在后,固难得而测矣。"同郡陈蕃、周举常相谓曰:"明月之间不见黄生,则鄙吝之萌复存乎心。"及蕃为三公,临朝叹曰"叔度若在,吾不敢先佩印绶矣。"太守王龚在郡,礼进贤达,多所降致,卒不能屈宪。郭林宗少游汝南,先过袁阆,不宿而退,进往从宪,累日方还。或以问林宗。林宗曰:"奉高之器,譬诸氿滥,虽清而易挹。叔度汪汪若千顷陂,澄之不清,淆之不浊,不可量也。"
  宪初举孝廉,又辟公府,友人劝其仕,宪亦不拒之,暂到京师而还,竟无所就。年四十八终,天下号曰"征君"。
