Wang Can
"The Seven Scholars of Jian'an" was a name which Cao Pi came up with in an essay to describe seven major literati of the Jian'an era. Among them were Kong Rong (153–208), who was later executed by Cao Cao, along with his family: only a few of his poems survive. Wang Can (177–217), a poet known for his "Poem of Seven Sorrows" (七哀诗), a five-character poem which lamented how much the people suffered during the war years.
