Biography

元行沖(653年-729年),名,字行沖,以字行。河南郡洛阳县(今河南省洛阳市东)人。唐朝进士、官员。

元行冲是魏昭成帝拓跋什翼犍的曾孙常山康王拓跋素的后裔。少孤,為外祖司農卿韋機養大。博學多聞,善音律及詁訓之書。後舉進士,累官至通事舍人,頗受狄仁傑器重。宋璟對元行冲評價不高,認為他只能充任闲职,难以任大事。唐玄宗時,馬懷素奉旨與褚无量編輯《群书目录》,開元七年以後,懷素與無量相繼故物,書未成,由行冲接任。。至開元九年,書成,上《群书四部录》二百卷。竟無人受賞。元行冲頗受張說排擠,开元十年九月,行冲“以衰老罢丽正殿校写事”,累封常山郡公。開元十七年(729年)卒,年七十七。贈禮部尚書,諡曰獻。著有《魏典》、《群書四錄》等。

逸事

唐玄宗詔行沖編修魏徵撰次的《禮記疏》。書成之後,右丞相張說卻表示反對,他認為《禮記》迄今已有千年,各家多有註解,何必另採魏徵版本。行沖乃以主客一問一答方式作《釋疑》一文以回應。他表示各家註解相互矛盾處甚多,魏徵才會覺得有重加審訂的必要。這是成語【當局者迷】的由來,典故自《旧唐书·元行冲传》:“当局称迷,旁观见审。”
