Biography

孔衍,鲁国人。
晋书卷九十一 列传第六十一:
  孔衍,字舒元,鲁国人,孔子二十二世孙也。祖文,魏大鸿胪。父毓,征南军司。衍少好学,年十二,能通《诗》《书》。弱冠,公府辟,本州举异行直言,皆不就。避地江东,元帝引为安东参军,专掌记室。书令殷积,而衍每以称职见知。中兴初,与庚亮俱补中书郎。明帝之在东宫,领太子中庶子。于时庶事草创,衍经学深博,又练识旧典,朝仪轨制多取正焉。由是元明二帝并亲爱之。王敦专权,衍私于太子曰:"殿下宜博延朝彦,搜扬才俊,询谋时政,以广圣聪。"敦闻而恶之,乃启出衍为广陵郡。时人为之寒心,而衍不形于色。虽郡邻接西贼,犹教诱后进,不以戎务废业。石勒尝骑至山阳,敕其党以衍儒雅之士,不得妄入郡境。视职期月,以太兴三年卒于官,年五十三。
  衍虽不以文才著称,而博览过于贺循,凡所撰述,百余万言。
  子启,卢陵太守。
  宗人夷吾,有美名,博学不及衍,涉世声誉过之。元帝以为主簿,转参军,稍迁侍中,徙太子左卫率,卒,追赠太仆。
