序致第一
〔中国古代〕颜之推夫圣贤之书,教人诚孝,慎言检迹,立身扬名,亦已备矣。魏、晋已来,所著诸子,理重事复,递相模效,犹屋下架屋,床上施床耳。吾今所以复为此者,非敢轨物范世也,业以整齐门内,提撕子孙。夫同言而信,信其所亲;同命而行,行其所服。禁童子之暴谑,则师友之诫,不如傅婢之指挥;止凡人之斗阋,则尧、舜之道,不如寡妻之诲谕。吾望此书为汝曹之所信,犹贤于傅婢寡妻耳。
吾家风教,素为整密。昔在龆龀,便蒙诱诲;每从两兄,晓夕温凊。规行矩步,安辞定色,锵锵翼翼,若朝严君焉。赐以优言,问所好尚,励短引长,莫不恳笃。年始九岁,便丁荼蓼,家涂离散,百口索然。慈兄鞠养,苦辛备至;有仁无威,导示不切。虽读《礼》《传》,微爱属文,颇为凡人之所陶染,肆欲轻言,不修边幅。年十八九,少知砥砺,习若自然,卒难洗荡。二十已后,大过稀焉;每常心共口敌,性与情竞,夜觉晓非,今悔昨失,自怜无教,以至于斯。追思平昔之指,铭肌镂骨,非徒古书之诫,经目过耳也。故留此二十篇,以为汝曹后车耳。
