Wang Lang studied under the eunuch Yang Ci and was worshipped as LangZhong because of his proficiency in scriptures. Later, due to Yang Ci's death, he abandoned the official to serve him, and was later promoted to filial piety, but Wang Lang was not killed. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian also named him Mao Cai, and Bai Zhizhong engaged. The transfer of the appointed will be too conservative, and he is loved by the people during his term of office. When Sun Ce attacked Huiji, Wang Lang raised troops to resist, was defeated by him, and surrendered when he could not escape, Sun Ce respected Wang Lang and did not harm.

Later, he was recruited by Cao Cao, and arrived several years later, and was worshipped as a counselor and a military officer. Later, he sacrificed wine for the Wei army, led the Wei Commandery Taishou, and served as Shaofu, Fengchang, Dali and other positions. When Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he moved to Yushi Dafu and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Anlingting.

Wang Lang was very knowledgeable, and both his son Wang Su and he were scholars of scripture. He is the author of "Zhou Yi Biography", "Spring and Autumn Biography", "Filial Piety Biography", "Zhou Guan Biography", etc., with a collection of thirty-four volumes.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series, Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang as follows:

I thought that as an old minister of the Han Dynasty, when you came to the front of the battle and faced the generals of the two armies, you would have a high opinion. I didn't expect to say such a rude thing! I have a word for you to listen to: In the old days, when Emperor Huan lingdi was in power, Han unification declined, eunuchs caused disasters, the country was in turmoil, and the four sides were disturbed. After the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo, Li Dai, Guo Feng, and others rose up one after another, kidnapping the Han Emperor and brutalizing the living beings. Therefore, above the temple, the decaying wood is the official, and between the temples, the animals eat. As a result, the generations of wolf-hearted dogs were fierce, and the slaves and slaves were in charge. So that the society became a hill, and the people suffered from charcoal! At this time of national calamity, what did Wang Situ do? I have always known the life of Wang Situ - you are a guest of honor in the East China Sea, you have entered the world with filial piety and honesty, you should have been Kuang Junfuguo, An Hanxing Liu, He Period rebelled against the rebel thief, and conspired to usurp the throne. The sin is so deep that heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ...... Shut up! Shameless old thief! Do you not know that all the people of the world are willing to eat your flesh, and dare to rap here! Now fortunately, Emperor Zhaolie inherited the unification in Nishikawa! Now that I am serving the will of the heir apparent, you are a courtier, and you can only sneak up and shrink your head, and how dare you claim the number of days in front of our army! Hao Shou PiFu, the old thief with the hair, you are about to return to the Nine Springs, and what face will you have to meet the twenty-four generations of the former emperors of the Han Dynasty! Erchen Thief, you have lived in vain for seventy and six, and you have not made any achievements in your life, you will only shake your lips and drum your tongue and help Cao to be abused! A dog with a broken spine, he dared to bark wildly in front of our army! I've never seen anyone so brazen!

However, is the historical truth really the same as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

The ninety-third time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "Jiang Boyu surrendered to Kong Ming, and the Marquis of Wuxiang cursed Wang Lang to death", which left an impression on Wang Lang. In fact, wang Lang in history (according to the "Records of History") was not scolded to death.

Check the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, And Emperor Ming: "In the second year (228) of the second year (Taihe) spring and the first month... The Shu general Zhuge Liang Koubian, tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding counties rebelled against Yingliang. The general Cao Zhendu was sent to oversee Guan Right and marched into the army. Right General Zhang? Hit the street kiosk and break it. Liang was defeated and left, and the three counties were flat", but not as in the "Yanyi", there was a matter of Wang Lang as a military division to accompany the army. And it is also recorded: In November of the same year, Situ Wang Langxue " (zizhi tongjian) the same), it can be seen that Wang Lang's death, more than half a year since the end of this war.

It can be seen that in history, Zhuge Liang's scolding of Wang Lang was not true! Wang Lang recorded in the main history died of illness! It is not said in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Liang cursed to death!
