Xue Zong (died 243), courtesy name
Jingwen, was a Chinese poet and politician of the state of
Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was known for his quick wit. On one occasion, when the
Shu envoy Zhang Feng (張奉) made fun of the name of his colleague
Kan Ze during a feast, he gained somewhat of a measure of revenge by making fun of Shu's name. He was also known for assisting
Lü Dai in the pacification of Jiaozhi Commandery (covering parts of present-day western Guangdong, southwestern Guangxi and northern Vietnam). In 233, when
Sun Quan considered an ill-advised campaign to the Liaodong Peninsula against the recalcitrant warlord
Gongsun Yuan (who had submitted to him and then betrayed him and killed his envoys), Xue Zong was one of the officials who spoke against the campaign, eventually getting Sun Quan to change his mind. Xue Zong had two sons:
Xue Ying and
Xue Xu.

生平
薛綜年少時就跟隨族人到交州避亂，於交州跟隨劉熙學習。建安十五年（210年），步騭到交州出任交州刺史，交趾太守士燮向東吳歸附，孫權徵召薛綜為五官中郎將，先後就任合浦和交趾太守。延康元年（220年），呂岱代替步騭任交州刺史，薛綜隨同呂岱討伐當時數個作亂的賊匪兵團，平定交州全境，又進攻九真。戰事完結後任謁者僕射。
黃龍三年（231年），孫權任命建昌侯孫慮當鎮軍大將軍，駐屯半州，同時任命薛綜為鎮軍長史，對外掌軍眾之事，對內以書教授孫慮。嘉禾元年（232年），孫慮逝世，薛綜轉任賊曹尚書，後任尚書僕射。
赤烏三年（240年），轉任選曹尚書。赤烏五年（242年），加任太子少傅。（既為太子老師，但仍然擔任選曹尚書，這種待遇是相當厚待和重視的表現。）翌年（243年）逝世。
特徵
• 有一次，孫權命薛綜寫祝祖文，指定不能用常用的文辭，但薛綜仍可寫出言辭燦爛的文章。孫權要他再作一篇，薛綜又能夠作一篇用辭全新的，眾人都大為讚賞。可見薛綜語文及寫作的造詣極高。
