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.
