Features: Wang Shanshan, also known as Runong, 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 Prince Guigang of the Ming dynasty in Guangxi. When it became impossible to achieve anything, he retired to Shiposhan, burying himself in this mountain, carrying his grief forever. His study was modestly named: "The Six Classics demand I open a new perspective; seven feet from heaven beg for a burial." This can summarize his life. He wrote hundreds of volumes of books, among which those that best reflect his thoughts include Huang Shu, Siwen Lu, Annotations to Zhangzi Zhengmeng, Commentary on the Complete Works of the Four Books, Outer Commentary on the Book of Changes, and Interpretations of the Book of Documents. This collection of Wang Shanshan's poems and essays is compiled from several of his works; as most of these collections were self-edited by the author, they retain their original form without being rearranged or fragmented.
