“建安七子”岂无孔融

No Kong Rong among the Seven Masters of Jian An?

后世的一些人常常因为孔融未参加邺下活动 ,或未被陈寿提及 ,或未为曹丕《典论·论文》之前的舆论认可 ,而对其“建安七子”的身份表示质疑。这些人实际上犯以一偏概全、历史误读、或以前否后的错误。一些人由于过分强调孔融、曹操之间的矛盾 ,企图从政治上否定其七子身份。实际上孔融与曹操曾一度休戚与共。其他人从孔融创作与其他六子的个性差异出发 ,企图从文学上否定孔融的七子身份。但事实是孔融的作品也有建安文学的一般特征 。

Some people of later ages often queried Kong Rong's identity as one of the Seven Masters of Jian An for his not having taken part in the activities of Ye City,his not having been mentioned by Chen Shou,who was a famous historian or his not having been approved by the public opinion earlier than Cao Pi's On Classic ·On Writings (Dian Lun·Lun Wen). In fact,these people made the mistakes of taking a part for the whole,misreading the history,and denying the latter with the former.Some of them tried to deny Kong Rong's identity as one of the Seven Masters of Jian An politically because they overemphasized the contradiction between Kong Rong and Cao Cao.In reality,Kong Rong had shared weal and woe with Cao Cao for a time.Others tried to deny Kong Rong's identity as one of the Seven Masters of Jian An with the individual differences of his writings from those of the other six masters.But the fact is that Kong Rong's works also have the general features of Jian An literature-vigor and grace.
