In the seventh year of Shunzhi (in 165), he won the first place in the county, the government and the road, and had poetic titles with his eldest brother Wang Shilu, his second brother Wang Shixi and his third brother Wang Shizhen. In the 15th year of Shunzhi (1658), he was a scholar of the Reform Movement of 1898. At the age of 23, he traveled to Jinan and invited literary celebrities in Jinan to gather on the water pavilion of Daming Lake. This poem spread widely, and there were many writers in the north and south of the Yangtze River. At that time, it was called "Autumn Willow Poetry Society" by the literary world and became famous all over the world. Later generations named an alley on the northeast bank of Daming Lake "Autumn Willow Garden", referring to the place where Wang Shizhen chanted Autumn Willow. In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), he was appointed as an official in Yangzhou, "working in the daytime, and receiving ci writers at night". In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), he was summoned by Emperor Kangxi, transferred to wait for reading, and entered the south study room. In the forty-third year of Kangxi (174), the official was the minister of punishments. Soon, because of the Wang Wu case, he was dismissed and returned to his hometown for the crime of "looking forward". In the forty-ninth year of Kangxi (171), Emperor Kangxi missed his old minister and specially ordered the official to be reinstated. Because he avoided the taboo of Yongzheng, he changed his name to Shizheng. Qianlong gave celebrities Zhen, Shi Wen Jian. The Summary of the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone was tired of the skin profile of Wang (Shizhen) and Li (Panlong) in the Ming Dynasty and the slim appearance of Zhong (Xing) and Tan (Yuan Chun), so poets competed for Song and Yuan Dynasties. Then the quality of Song poetry is straight, and it flows into rhyming quotations; Yuan poetry is colorful and flows into a small word of antithesis. Therefore, Shi Zhen and others, with their fresh and elegant talents, criticized the wind and smeared the moon, and advocated that the world should say,' Without a word, it will be romantic', and the world will respond to it. " Qian Zhongshu commented on Wang Yuyang's poem in Tan Yi Lu: "A fragment is not a real dragon". Wang Shizhen's poems are fresh and well-written, and his prose and ci are also excellent. His poetic theory of verve originates from Tang Sikong's "nature" and "implication" and Song Yanyu's "quip" and "interest", and takes "not writing a word, being romantic" as the key to writing poetry. In the poems, there are many poems about Jinan's scenery and stories. He once commented on Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio for Pu and wrote a poem. There are more than 5 kinds of works and more than 4, poems in his life, mainly including Records of the Essence of Fishery Mountain People, Collection of Silkworm Tails, Miscellaneous Notes on Chibei, Notes of Xiangzu, Records of Juyi, A Brief Introduction to Fishery Literature, Collection of Fishery Poems, Collection of Classics, and Feeling Old.

In the 17th year of Kangxi (1678), Wang Shizhen was summoned by the emperor, and became the first minister in the Qing Dynasty by Cao Chong, a minister of Han Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi also sent a letter to Wang Shi Zibo Wang Shizhen Memorial Hall

to present a poem, which was a very rare honor at that time. Wang Shizhen then selected and recorded 3 poems of his own, and named them Yu Lan Ji. From then on, Wang Shizhen rose to the top of the world, often receiving royal calligraphy and painting, and attending important banquets for many times. At that time, Wang Shizhen's poems became famous all over the world, and his official position was constantly moving up, becoming the recognized leader of the literary world in the early Qing Dynasty. At that time, newcomers and literary successors came to Beijing to ask famous teachers for advice, and they often visited Wang Shizhen first. If they could get a word of praise from him, they would become famous. Pu Songling is an outstanding scholar, and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has not been known by the world for a long time. When Pu Songling found Wang Shizhen, Wang Shizhen "praised him and returned him" and gave him a poem: "If you listen to the nonsense, it will rain like silk in the bean shed. You should be tired of speaking in human language and love to listen to autumn grave ghosts sing poems." In order to make Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio published, Wang Shizhen wrote "Wang Ruanting's Appraisal" in the book, which made various bookshops scramble for manuscripts and printed "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" with pride. Celebrities at that time praised this matter: "The country's culture has a long history, elegant and elegant, and the giants are coming out, and the generation of authentic will be the first in the new city princes." Song Yanyu's theory of "witticism" and "interest" takes "nothing, everything is romantic" as the gist of his poems. In the poems, there are many poems about the scenery of Jinan, telling the story of Jinan. The beautiful natural scenery and superior climatic conditions of Changbai Mountain in the west of Zhoucun attracted Wang Shizhen, so he built a villa named "Fu Yu Cao Tang". Come to play and stay whenever you are free. In the midsummer heat, the whole family comes here to spend the summer. There are mountains and forests, clear springs, Luming Literature crane dance, lakes and mountains, and it is a rare summer resort. There is a bustling Zhoucun nearby, and life is very convenient. Yuan Shoudong and other bureaucrats in Yuancheng also saw villas in the mountains. After Wang Shizhen was dismissed from office, he lived in a villa in the mountains for a long time, climbing peaks and watching waterfalls and playing fish in the pond. Sometimes, when you climb the peak of Huixian, you can see the blue belt of the Qinghe River, and the Wang Shizhen of Lake Nha Trang sits in a whistling picture < P >, and you can sing "The breeze from Dongshan is coming, and the rain from Xijian is cool". When you are in high spirits, it is very pleasant to scream in the sky and spread the sound in the empty valley.

Wang Shizhen officials to ministers of punishments, there is quite a political voice. Wang Shizhen's poems are fresh and well-written, and his prose and ci are also excellent. His poetic theory of verve originated from Tang Sikong's works of "nature" and "implication". Wang Shizhen was an advocate of "verve theory" in the early Qing Dynasty. Later generations compiled Poems with Classrooms, which reflected his ideas on poetry. Wang Shizhen's poetics is based on "verve", and its origin originates from Si Kongtu and Yan Yu. He advocates "wonderful enlightenment" and "interest", and takes "nothing to say, to be romantic" as the highest realm of poetry. Emphasis on distant artistic conception and implicit language. Wang Shizhen's poetry creation started with the seven poets in the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and he became a poet in the Tang Dynasty in his middle age. However, in these three changes, advocating the theory of verve is the best embodiment of Wang Shizhen's theory of verve, and his seven-character quatrains are well written.
