先是，父曇首與王華並為太祖所任，華子嗣人才既劣，位遇亦輕。 His father Tanshou and Wang Hua had both been trusted by Emperor Wen; Hua's son Si was inferior in talent and held a far lower position.

僧綽嘗謂中書侍郎蔡興宗曰：「弟名位應與新建齊，超至今日，蓋由姻戚所致也。」 Sengchuo once told Vice Director Cai Xingzong: "Brother, your rank ought to match the Marquis of Xinjian's; you have risen higher chiefly through marriage ties."

新建者，嗣之封也。 Xinjian was Wang Si's title.
