蜀建（字光圖。姓王氏。許州武陽人。佐唐有功。封西平王。進封蜀王。遂有鼎分之志。昭宗遇弑。少帝禪梁。舉哭哀慟。文武勸進。遂立成都。號蜀。十二年卒。壽七十二。改武成）○雷氏曰（王建前蜀二主三五）。

Jian of Shu (courtesy name Guangtu; family name Wang; a native of Wuyang in Xuzhou. Having merits in assisting the Tang, he was enfiefed as King of Xiping, and advanced to King of Shu. Thereupon he had ambitions of dividing the realm like a tripod. When Emperor Zhaozong was assassinated and the Young Emperor abdicated to the Liang, he raised a lamentation and wept bitterly. The civil and military officials urged him to ascend the throne; he thereupon established himself at Chengdu, designating his realm Shu. He died after twelve years at the age of seventy-two; he had changed the reign era to Wucheng.) ○ Master Lei said, ("Wang Jian of Former Shu: two rulers, thirty-five years.")
