Biography
王敬荛，颍州汝阴人。
旧五代史卷二十（梁书） 列传十：
王敬荛，颍州汝阴人，世为郡武吏。唐乾符初，敬荛为本州都知兵马使。中和初，寇难益炽，郡守庸怯，不能自固，敬荛遂代之监郡，俄真拜刺史，加检校右散骑常侍。时州境荒馑，大寇继至，黄巢数十万众寨于州南，敬荛极力抗御，逾旬而退。俄又宗权之众，凌暴益甚，合围攻壁，皆力屈而去。蔡贼复遣将刁君务以万众来逼，敬荛列阵当之，身先驰突，杀敌甚多，由是竟全郡垒，远近归附。及淮人不恭，太祖屡以军南渡，路由州境，敬荛悉心供亿，太祖甚嘉之。乾宁二年，署为沿淮上下都指挥使。四年冬，庞师古败于清口，败军逃归者甚众，路出于颍。时雨雪连旬，军士冻馁，敬荛自淮燎薪，相属于道，郡中设糜糗饼饵以待之，全活者甚众，由是表知武宁军节度、徐宿观察留后。数月，真拜武宁军节度使。天复二年，入为右龙武统军。天祐三年，转左卫上将军。开平元年八月，以疾致仕，寻卒于其第。
敬荛魁杰沈勇，多力善战，所用枪矢，皆以纯铁锻就，枪重三十余斤，摧锋突阵，率以此胜。虽非太祖旧臣，而远输恳款，保境合兵，以辅兴王之运，有足称者。
