孔融诗选
Selected Poems of Kong Rong

孔融,字文举,是孔子二十世孙。汉末混乱,他曾先后在军阀董卓和曹操控制的朝廷中任职。他不畏权贵,直言不逊,先是被董卓从朝廷迁出,最终因公开反对和讥讽曹操及其政令,与妻孥一起被曹操杀害。

Kong Rong (153—208), courtesy name Wenju, was the twentieth-generation grandson of Confucius. During the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, he served at the courts of warlords Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, who had the monarchs under their control at different times. A straightforward and fearless person, he repeatedly offended Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao with his outspoken criticism of them. He was f irst sent away from court by Dong Zhuo, and eventually was executed, along with his wife and children, by Cao Cao because of his public criticism and ridicule of Cao Cao and his policies.
