Wang Shizhen was born in an official family, and his grandfather Wang was an envoy of Henan in the Ming Dynasty. Shi Zhecun was born in an official family in Henan, and his grandfather called him Yu Sun. I entered school at the age of five and read the Book of Songs at the age of six or seven. In the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), he won the first place in the county, the government and the road, and had a poem title with his eldest brother Wang Shilu, his second brother Wang and his third brother Wang Shizhen. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), he was a scholar in the Reform Movement of 1898. At the age of 23, he visited Jinan and invited celebrities from Jinan literary circles to gather in the Shuige of Daming Lake. This poem has spread all over the country, and there are many writers. At that time, it was called "Qiuliu Poetry Society" by the literary world, which was 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 served as the secretariat of Yangzhou, and in the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), he was summoned by Emperor Kangxi and transferred to the south study room. In the forty-third year of Kangxi (1704), the official was the minister of punishments. Soon, because of the Wang Wu case, he was dismissed for the crime of "looking ahead and looking back" and returned to his hometown. In the forty-ninth year of Kangxi (17 10), Emperor Kangxi mourned the old minister and ordered the official to be reinstated. In order to avoid Yongzheng, he changed his name to Zheng Shi. Ganlong presented celebrities with Zhen and Jian.
The Summary of Sikuquanshu said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone was tired of the skin contours of Wang (Shizhen) and Li (Panlong) and the slim appearance of Zhong (Xing) in the Ming Dynasty, so poets competed for Song and Yuan Dynasties. Then the quality of Song poetry is straight, flowing into rhyming quotations; Yuan poems are colorful and flow into antithetical words. Therefore, Shi Zhecun and others criticized the romantic with their fresh and elegant talents, and advocated that the world said that' a word is inconsistent, it is romantic', and the world responded. " Qian Zhongshu commented on Wang Yuyang's poem in Tan Yi Lu: "Fragments are not real dragons".
Wang Shizhen's poems are fresh, his writing is good, and his prose and words are excellent. His verve theory originates from the nature and implication in Tang Dynasty and the quip and interest in Song Dynasty, and takes "not writing a word, being romantic" as the key to writing poetry. In poetry, there are many poems about the scenery and stories of Jinan. He once commented on Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and wrote a poem for Pu.
He has written more than 500 kinds of works and more than 4,000 poems in his life, mainly including The Tales of Fishermen, Collection of Silkworm Tails, Miscellanies of Chibei, Notes of Xiangzu, Juyilu, Introduction to Fishery Literature, Collection of Fishery Poems, Classic Collection and Feeling Old.
