Wang Wei, Wu Zetian was born in Zhou Pu (now Yuncheng yongji city) in the first year of Chang 'an (70 1).
Yuan (a scholar in the ninth year of Kaiyuan), Ren Cheng, was demoted to join the army in Jeju because he was involved in actors dancing yellow lions.
In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (735), Zhang Jiuling came to power and promoted Wang Wei to the right. In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan (736), he was transferred to supervise the censor, and was later ordered to leave the fort as our envoy to Liangzhou Hexi.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), An Shi Rebellion broke out. In 756, Chang 'an was captured by rebels, and Wang Wei was arrested and forced to assume a false post.
After the war subsided, Wang Wei was imprisoned and handed over to the headquarters for trial. It stands to reason that he should be beheaded for joining the rebels. However, when he was captured, he wrote "Ningbi Pool" to express the pain of national subjugation and his nostalgia for the imperial court. Because his brother assistant minister of punishments made meritorious deeds, he requested to cut books for his brother's atonement. Wang was pardoned and reduced to the crown prince's permission, and then moved to Zhongshu to give up his family business, and finally he became an official.
In the second year of Shang Dynasty (76 1), Wang Wei died. On his deathbed, he still wrote a book to say goodbye to his relatives and friends, and then passed away safely.
