衛綰，代大陵人也，以戲車為郎，事文帝，功次遷中郎將，醇謹無它。 Wei Wan of Daling in Dai entered the guard corps as a stunt charioteer, rose under Emperor Wen to General of the Household, and was stolidly reliable.

文帝且崩時，屬孝景曰：「綰長者，善遇之。」 Wen’s deathbed words to Jing were, “Wan is a steady man—keep him close.”

為郎，事文帝。 He served Emperor Wen as a gentleman-of-the-palace.

敺孝文時以治刑名侍太子，然其人長者。 Under Wen he tutored the heir in legalist “forms and names,” though his manner remained that of a gentleman.
