Biography
孔淳之，鲁人。
南史卷七十五 列传第六十五：
孔淳之，字彦深，鲁人也。祖惔，尚书祠部郎。父粲，秘书监征，不就。
淳之少有高尚，爱好坟籍，为太原王恭所称。居会稽剡县。性好山水，每有所游，必穷其幽峻。或旬日忘归。尝游山，遇沙门释法崇，因留共止，遂停三载。法崇叹曰："缅息人外三十年矣，今乃倾盖于兹，不觉老之将至也。"及淳之还，乃不告以姓。除著作佐郎、太尉参军，并不就。居丧至孝，庐于墓侧。服阕，与征士戴颙、王弘之及王敬弘等共为人外之游，又申以婚姻。敬弘以女适淳之子尚，遂以乌羊系所乘车辕，提壶为礼。至则尽欢共饮，迄暮而归。或怪其如此，答曰："固亦农夫田父之礼也。"
会稽太守谢方明苦要之，不能致，使谓曰："苟不入吾郡，何为入吾郭？"淳之笑曰："潜游者不识其水，巢栖者非辩其林，飞沉所至，何问其主？"终不肯往。茅室蓬户，庭草芜径，唯床上有数帙书。元嘉初，复征为散骑侍郎，乃逃于上虞县界，家人莫知所在。弟默之，为广州刺史，出都与别，司徒王弘要淳之集冶城，即日命驾东归，遂不顾也。元嘉七年卒。默之儒学，注《谷梁春秋》。默之子熙先，事在《范晔传》。
