Features: Wang Fuzhi, also known as Wang Shipushan, styled E'ning, was a great Enlightenment thinker and patriotic figure from Hengyang, Hunan, during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In his early years, he participated in the anti-Qing movement and followed the Ming Prince of Gui in Guangxi. When it became impossible to achieve anything more, he retired to Shipushan, burying himself in this mountain, carrying his grief into eternity. His study was modestly named: "The Six Classics demand I open a new perspective; with seven feet, I beg the heavens for a burial." This can summarize his life. He wrote hundreds of volumes of works, among which those that best reflect his thoughts include the Huang Shu (Yellow Book), Siwenlu (Records of Inquiry), Annotations to Zhangzi Zhengmeng, Commentary on the Complete Works of the Four Books, Expositions on the Zhouyi, and Interpretations of the Shangshu. This collection of Wang Shipushan's poems and essays was compiled from several of his works; as most of these collections were self-edited by the author, they retain their original form and have not been rearranged or scattered.
