Biography

王雅,阐熙新国人\阐熙新纻人。
周书卷二十九 列传第二十一:
  王雅,字度容,阐熙新国人也。少而沈毅,木讷寡言。有胆勇,善骑射。太祖闻其名,召入军,累有战功。除都督,赐爵居庸县子。
  东魏将窦泰入寇,雅从太祖擒之于潼关。沙苑之战,雅谓所部曰:"彼军殆有百万,今我不满万人,以常理论之,实难与敌。但相公神武命世,股肱王室,以顺讨逆,岂计众寡。丈夫若不以此时破贼,何用生为!"乃擐甲步战,所向披靡。太祖壮之。又从战邙山。时大军不利,为敌所乘,诸将皆引退,雅独回骑拒之。敌人见其无继,步骑竞进。雅左右奋击,频斩九级,敌众稍却,雅乃还军。太祖叹曰:"王雅举身悉是胆也。"录前后功,进爵为伯,除帅都督、鄜城郡守。政尚简易,吏人安之。迁大都督、延州刺史,转夏州刺史,加车骑大将军、仪同三司,进骠骑大将军、开府仪同三司。
  世宗初,除汾州刺史。励精为治,人庶悦而附之,自远至者七百余家。保定初,复为夏州刺史,卒于州。
  子世积嗣。少倜傥有文武干略。大象末,上大将军、宜阳郡公。
