孝文帝時為博士，景帝時為常山王太傅。 He served as an erudite under Emperor Wen and as Grand Tutor to the King of Changshan under Emperor Jing.

孝文帝時，欲求能治尚書者，天下無有，乃聞伏生能治，欲召之。 During the reign of Emperor Wen, the court sought someone who could expound the Documents, but no one in the realm could be found. When they learned that Master Fu possessed this knowledge, they wished to summon him.
