Wang Baozi is a native of Linyi. Great-grandfather Wang Jian, grandfather Wang Qian, father Wang Gui, and Southern History have all been circulated.

Wang Bao is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Peace of mind, handsome and dignified, good at joking, reading history books, can write articles at the age of seven. Grandfather Liang Chao Sikong Yuan Ang loved him and said to his guests, "This child will be a promising person." Before reaching the age of adulthood, he was recommended as a scholar, a minister and a prince. Xiao Ziyun, Guo Zi of Liang Dynasty, is Wang Bo's uncle. He is especially good at cursive and official scripts. When Wang Bao was a child, he traveled to and from Xiao Ziyun's home because of his relatives, so he studied calligraphy with him. His reputation was below that of Xiao Ziyun, and he was valued together at that time. Reward his talent and skills, and marry his daughter, his younger brother, Poyang Wang Xiaohui, to Wang Bao, who is a hereditary title of Hou Nanchang County, and served as secretary of Cheng, Xuancheng Wang and civil history. During Hou Jingnian, Jianye was captured, and Wang Bao collected and placed his subordinates, which was praised by people at that time. Was changed to southern civilian history.

When Emperor Liang Yuan succeeded to the throne, Wang Bao and Emperor Liang Yuan had old friends and were called to the capital. They served as ministers and right assistants in the official department, and still became Zuo Cheng, who also took charge of state affairs. As a famous writer, Wang Bo made outstanding literary achievements, and everyone admired him at that time. Therefore, Bao Wang pays equal attention to his position and fame, but he is more and more humble and self-deprecating, and he is not arrogant because of his high position. The public opinion at that time greatly praised him.

When Yuan Di put down the rebellion in Hou Jing and captured Xiaoji, king of Wuling, he wanted to move the capital to Jiangling, which was rich and powerful at that time. In addition, the officials in Yuan Di are all Chu people, and they all want to build their capital immediately. Yuan Di once called ministers to discuss the establishment of the capital. The generals of the town army, such as Monk Hu, Shangshu of the official department, Taifuqing Huang Luohan, and Yushi Chengliu, said: "The emperor of Jianye has run out of luck, and the land in the south of Beijing has the weather of an emperor, so it is not appropriate to move the capital to Jianye." Yuan Di thinks they are right. Wang Baosheng came cautiously, knowing that Yuan Di had many suspicions and taboos, and he dared not openly say that Yuan Di was wrong. Later, with the help of Jingxian, I secretly persuaded him and said it very seriously. Yuan Di liked the land of Jingchu, listened to the advice of Monk Hu and others many times, and finally failed to adopt Bao Wang's advice.

When the Northern Wei Dynasty captured Jiangling, Yuan Di appointed Bao Wang as the military commander in the west of the city. The fence was broken and they followed Yuan Di into Jincheng. Soon, Yuan Di went out of the city to surrender, and Wang Bao took everyone out of the city to surrender. When he met Zhu Guo Yujing, Yujing was very polite to him. Wang Bao once wrote Yan Ge, which vividly described the cold and poverty in Saibei. Yuan Di sang with all the scribes, vying to choose sad words, which has not been verified until now. Wang Bao came to Chang 'an with dozens of people, including Liu, Zong Yi and Yin Buhai. Zhou Tianzi said happily, "The only benefits of pacifying the State of Wu in those days were Lv Zhi and his brothers. Now the result of pacifying Chu is a wealth of talents, which can be said to be greater than the benefits of pacifying Wu. " And he said to the king, "I am the king's nephew, and you are all my uncles. You should cherish the affection of your loved ones and don't worry about leaving your hometown. " So Wang Bao, Yin Buhai and others were awarded to ride the general and the third division. I often sit in my seat leisurely, and the reward is very rich. Wang Bao and others are also favored, forgetting that they are sojourners in the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Tianzi is the emperor and Wang Bao is the viscount of Shiquan County. Emperor Zhou Ming acceded to the throne and especially loved literature. The most famous talent at that time was Wang Baohe Yuxin, who was especially favored by relatives. Every time Emperor Ming of Zhou gave a banquet, he ordered Wang Bao to write poems and articles and stay with him all the time. Soon, I was awarded the third-class merit of Kaifu Instrument. During the Baoding period of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, he was awarded the post of Doctor of Literature and History. Emperor Wu of Zhou wrote the Elephant Sutra and asked Wang Bao to annotate it. Wang Bao's quotation is detailed and extensive, which is very appreciated by Emperor Wu. Wang Bao, who has proper limit, is particularly clear about politics. Because he had been an assistant minister in Jiangdong for many years, it was also for this reason that Emperor Wu of Zhou valued him. After Jiande years, Wang Bao participated in state affairs, and all the big imperial edicts were written by Wang Bao. After the establishment of the East Palace, the prince was granted the post of Shaobao, and was replaced as Shaosikong, still in charge of the imperial edict. Emperor Wu traveled by car, and Wang Bao often followed and served.

At first, Isabella Chow, a layman in Runan, Liang Dynasty, Wang Baohe, was a friend. When Hong Rang's brother Zheng Hong became friends with Chen Guolai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed Wang Bao and others to communicate with relatives and friends, and Wang Bao gave them to write poems and letters. Soon, he became the secretariat of Yizhou and died as an official.
