唐天成中，範延光鎮成德，辟趙州軍事判官，遷石邑令。 During the Tiancheng reign of the Tang, Fan Yanguang governed Chengde and recruited him as military administrator of Zhao Prefecture; he was later promoted to magistrate of Shiyi.

唐自武宗已後無實錄，史官之職廢，緯采次傳聞，為《唐年補錄》六十五卷。 From Emperor Wuzong of Tang onward there were no Veritable Records and the historiographers' office lapsed; Wei gathered hearsay and compiled the Supplementary Annals of the Tang Years in sixty-five juan.

當唐之末，王室微弱，諸侯強盛，征伐擅出，天下多事，故緯所論次多所闕誤。 At the end of the Tang the throne was weak, regional lords were powerful, and war was constant; much of what Wei recorded is therefore incomplete or mistaken.

晉天福中，為太常博士，非其好也，數求為史職，改屯田員外郎、起居郎、史館修撰，與修《唐書》。 In the Jin Tianfu era he served as erudite of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, a post he disliked; he repeatedly sought historiographical office and was moved to vice director of the directorate of agriculture, attendant of the heir apparent, and compiler in the History Institute, where he helped compile the Book of Tang.
