Biography

王熙元。
宋史卷四百六十一 列传第二百二十:
  熙元,幼习父业,开宝中,补司天历算。端拱初,改监丞,累迁太子洗马兼春官正,加殿中丞,景德中,同判监事。东封,随经度制置使诣祠所。礼毕,授权知司天少监。祠汾阴,真拜少监。奉诏于后苑缵阴阳事十卷上之,真宗为制序,赐名《灵台秘要》,及作诗纪之。
  初,上所修《仪天历》,秋官正赵昭益言其二年后必差,又荧惑度数稍谬,后果验。熙元颇伏其精一。上常对宰相言及历算事,曰:"历象,阴阳家流之大者,以推步天道,平秩人时为功。"且言:"昭益能专其业,人鲜及也。"
  玉清昭应宫成,以祗事之勤,授司天监。坐择日差谬,降为少监。以目疾,改将作监,致仕。天禧二年卒,年五十八。
