Biography

王文同,京兆频阳人\京兆颍阳人。
北史卷八十七 列传第七十五:
  王文同,京兆频阳人也。性明辩,有干用。开皇中,以军功拜仪同,授桂州司马。炀帝嗣位,为光禄少卿。以忤旨,出为恒山郡赞务。有一人豪猾,每持长吏长短,前后守令咸惮之。文同下车,闻其名而数之。因令剡木为大橛,埋之于庭,出尺馀,四面各埋小橛,令其人踣心于木橛上,缚四支于小橛,以棒打其背,应时溃烂。郡中大骇,吏人慑气。及帝征辽东,令文同巡察河北诸郡,文同见沙门斋戒菜食者,以为妖妄,皆收系之。北至河间,召郡官人。小有迟违者,辄覆面于地而捶杀之。求沙门相聚讲论及长老共为佛会者数百人,文同以为聚结惑众,尽斩之。又悉裸僧尼,验有淫状非童男女者数千人,复将杀之。郡中士女,号哭于路,诸郡惊骇,各奏其事。帝闻大怒,遣使者违奚善意驰锁之,斩于河间,以谢百姓。仇人剖其棺,脔其肉啖之,斯须咸尽。
