Biography
孟嘉，江夏鄳人。
晋书卷九十八 列传第六十八：
孟嘉字万年，江夏鄳人，吴司空宗曾孙也。嘉少知名，太尉庾亮领江州，辟部庐陵从事。嘉还都，亮引问风俗得失，对曰："还传当问吏。"亮举麈尾掩口而笑，谓弟翼曰："孟嘉故是盛德人。"转劝学从事。褚裒时为豫章太守，正旦朝亮，裒有器识，亮大会州府人士，嘉坐次甚远。裒问亮："闻江州有孟嘉，其人何在？"亮曰："在坐，卿但自觅。"裒历观，指嘉谓亮曰："此君小异，将无是乎？"亮欣然而笑，喜裒得嘉，奇嘉为裒所得，乃益器焉。
后为征西桓温参军，温甚重之。九月九日，温燕龙山，僚佐毕集。时佐吏并著戎服，有风至，吹嘉帽堕落，嘉不之觉。温使左右勿言，欲观其举止。嘉良久如厕，温令取还之，命孙盛作文嘲嘉，著嘉坐处。嘉还见，即答之，其文甚美，四坐嗟叹。
嘉好酣饮，愈多不乱。温问嘉："酒有何好？而卿嗜之？"嘉曰："公未得酒中趣耳。"又问："听妓，丝不如竹，竹不如肉，何谓也？"嘉答曰："渐近使之然。"一坐咨嗟。转从事中郎，迁长史。年五十三卒于家。
