Biography

王承美,丰州人。
宋史卷二百五十三 传第十二:
  王承美,丰州人,本河西藏才族都首领。其父事契丹,为左千牛卫将军,开宝二年率众来归。承美授丰州牙内指挥使,父卒,改天德军蕃汉都指挥使、知州事,移丰州刺史。遣军校诣阙言,愿诱退浑、突厥内附,上嘉其意。
  太平兴国七年,与契丹战,斩获以万计,禽其天德军节度使韦太以献。明年,契丹来寇,又击败其众万余,追北至青冢百余里,斩获益众。以功授本州团练使。以乞党族次首领弗香克浪买为归德郎将,没细大首领越移为怀化大将军,瓦窑为归德大将军。淳化二年冬来朝,令归所部,控子河议。自是诸蕃岁修贡礼,颇效忠顺。
  景德初来朝,以其守边岁久,迁本州防御使以还。自承美内属,给奉同蕃官例,至是,特诏月增五万。寻请于州城置孔子庙,诏可之。未几被疾,遣中使挟医视之。大中祥符五年,卒,赠恩州观察使。六年,录其子文宝、孙怀筠以官。
  初,承美养其长孙文玉为子,奏署殿直,及卒,其本族首领上言文玉晓达军政,请令袭承美任。下蕃汉议,议同,以为侍禁、知州事。文玉父文恭时为侍禁,在沂州,表诉其事,诏改文恭为供奉宫。九年,承美葬,诏以帛缗、米曲、羊酒赐其家。
