Biography

王绍宗,扬州江都人。
旧唐书卷一百八十九下 列传第一百三十九:
  王绍宗,扬州江都人也,梁左民尚书铨曾孙也,其先自琅邪徙焉。绍宗少勤学,遍览经史,尤工草隶。家贫,常佣力写佛经以自给,每月自支钱足即止,虽高价盈倍,亦即拒之。寓居寺中,以清净自守,垂三十年。文明中,徐敬业于扬州作乱,闻其高行,遣使征之,绍宗称疾固辞。又令唐之奇亲诣所居逼之,竟不起。敬业大怒,将杀之。之奇曰:"绍宗人望,杀之恐伤士众之心。"由是获免。及贼平,行军大总管李孝逸以其状闻,则天驿召赴东都,引入禁中,亲加慰抚,擢拜太子文学,累转秘书少监,仍侍皇太子读书。
  绍宗性淡雅,以儒素见称,当时朝廷之士,咸敬慕之。张易之兄弟,亦加厚礼。易之伏诛,绍宗坐以交往见废,卒于乡里。
