Wen's name is becoming more and more famous. At the age of 23, he visited Jinan and invited celebrities from Jinan literary circles to gather at the Shuige on the bank of Daming Lake, that is, he presented four autumn willow poems at the scene. This poem is widely circulated, and there are many writers in the north and south of the Yangtze River, so it is called "Autumn Willow Poetry Society".
In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), he worked as an official in Yangzhou, "working during the day and receiving ci writers at night".
In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), he was promoted to be a doctor of the household department and became an official in Beijing. A large number of famous works have been handed down from generation to generation, especially landscape poems.

The Summary of Sikuquanshu said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people were tired of the skin profiles of Wang (Shizhen) and Li (Panlong) in Ming Dynasty and the slim appearance of Zhong (Xing) and Tan (Tan), 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. "
Yuan Mei called Wang Shizhen's poems "nothing more than a good woman with good facial features and elegant expression. You can add the cream of the palace, perfunctory the name of overseas, take people's money and become its style." "However, if you indulge a little, you will be unkempt and unattractive."
Qian Zhongshu pointed out that Wang Shizhen's poems are good at concealing the lack of talent. Wang Yuyang was commented in "Qin Yi Lu": "A scale and a half claws are not real dragons", and he also said that "the talents of fishing outside are not thick, but rather thin, so it is fascinating and wonderful to hide his body."
Wang Shizhen takes poetry as his religion, and his poems express personal feelings, which are fresh and meaningful, neat and meaningful. In the early years, the works were gorgeous, but after middle age they became light and vigorous. Prose and lyrics are also excellent. Good at each body, especially the seven laws of work. Like Zhu Yizun, he was called "Zhu Wang". 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.
Wang Shizhen wrote more than 500 kinds of works and wrote more than 4,000 poems in his life, mainly including The Essentials of Mountain Man in Yuyang, Collection of Silkworm Tails, Miscellanies in Chibei, Notes on Xiangzu, Juyilu, Wenlue, Yang Yushi, Jingji, Feeling and so on.
