    鍾繇字元常,頴川長社人也。〈《先賢行狀》曰:鍾皓字季明,溫良篤慎,博學詩律,教授門生千有餘人,爲郡功曹。時太丘長陳寔爲西門亭長,皓深獨敬異。寔少皓十七歲,常禮待與同分義。會辟公府,臨辭,太守問:「誰可代君?」皓曰:「明府欲必得其人,西門亭長可用。」寔曰:「鍾君似不察人爲意,不知何獨識我?」皓爲司徒掾,公出,道路泥濘,導從惡其相灑,去公車絕遠。公椎軾言:「司徒今日爲獨行耳!」還府向閤,鈴下不扶,令揖掾屬,公奮手不顧。時舉府掾屬皆投劾出,皓爲西曹掾,即開府門分布曉語已出者,曰:「臣下不能得自直於君,若司隷舉繩墨,以公失宰相之禮,又不勝任,諸君終身何所任邪?」掾屬以故皆止。都官果移西曹掾,問空府去意,皓召都官吏,以見掾屬名示之,乃止。前後九辟三府,遷南鄉、林慮長,不之官。時郡中先輩爲海內所歸者,蒼梧太守定陵陳稚叔、故黎陽令潁陰荀淑及皓。少府李膺常宗此三人,曰:「荀君清識難尚,陳、鍾至德可師。」膺之姑爲皓兄之妻,生子覲,與膺年齊,並有令名。覲又好學慕古,有退讓之行。爲童幼時,膺祖太尉脩言:「覲似我家性,國有道不廢,國無道免於刑戮者也。」復以膺妹妻之。覲辟州宰,未甞屈就。膺謂覲曰:「孟軻以爲人無好惡是非之心,非人也。弟於人何太無皂白邪!」覲甞以膺之言白皓,皓曰:「元禮,祖公在位,諸父並盛,韓公之甥,故得然耳。國武子好昭人過,以爲怨本,今豈其時!保身全家,汝道是也。」覲早亡,膺雖荷功名,位至卿佐,而卒隕身世禍。皓年六十九,終於家。皓二子迪、敷,並以黨錮不仕。繇則迪之孫。〉甞與族父瑜俱至洛陽,道遇相者,曰:「此童有貴相,然當厄於水,努力慎之!」行未十里,度橋,馬驚,墯水幾死。瑜以相者言中,益貴繇,而供給資費,使得專學。舉孝廉,〈謝承《漢書》曰:南陽陰脩爲潁川太守,以旌賢擢俊爲務,舉五官掾張仲方正,察功曹鍾繇、主簿荀彧、主記掾張禮、賊曹掾杜祐、孝廉荀攸、計吏郭圖爲吏,以光國朝。〉除尚書郎、陽陵令,以疾去。辟三府,爲廷尉正、黃門侍郎。是時,漢帝在西京,李傕、郭汜等亂長安中,與關東斷絕。太祖領兖州牧,始遣使上書。〈《世語》曰:太祖遣使從事王必致命天子。〉傕、汜等以爲「關東欲自立天子,今曹操雖有使命,非其至實」,議留太祖使,拒絕其意。繇說傕、汜等曰:「方今英雄並起,各矯命專制,唯曹兖州乃心王室,而逆其忠款,非所以副將來之望也。」傕、汜等用繇言,厚加荅報,由是太祖使命遂得通。太祖旣數聽荀彧之稱繇,又聞其說傕、汜,益虛心。後傕脅天子,繇與尚書郎韓斌同策謀。天子得出長安,繇有力焉。拜御史中丞,遷侍中尚書僕射,并錄前功封東武亭侯。
