Wāng Shēn 汪莘 (1155–1227), zì Shūgēng 叔耕, biéhào Fānghú jūshì 方壺居士 (“recluse of the square pot”), also Liǔtáng jūshì 柳塘居士, native of Xiūníng 休寧 (modern southern Anhuī). A bùyī 布衣 (commoner with no examination success) who in the Jiādìng era three times submitted fēngshì 封事 (sealed memorials) directly to the throne. When his memorials went unheeded he retreated to the banks of the Liǔ Stream 柳溪, walling off a garden which he named Fāngqú 方渠 (“square stream”), and from this took his hào. He was on cordial terms with Zhū Xī 朱熹 and Zhēn Déxiù 真德秀; his extant Cí huìān Zhū shìjiǎng shū 辭晦菴朱侍講書 (“Letter declining Defender-Lecturer Zhū Huìān”) is a vigorous reproof of Zhū Xī for not pressing reconciliation between the inner palaces hard enough. His own poetry was modelled on Lǐ Bái 李白 (with affinities to Lú Tóng 盧仝); his cí admired the “three transformations” Sū Shì 蘇軾, Zhū Xīzhēn 朱希真 (Zhū Dūnrú 朱敦儒), and Xīn Qìjí 辛棄疾. Surviving Fānghú cúngǎo 方壺存稿 KR4d0326 in 4 juan was assembled by his descendants Wāng Xún 汪循 et al. from scattered remnants; the three fēngshì memorials are not preserved. Prefaces by Chéng Bì 程珌 (1235), Sūn Róngsǒu 孫嶸叟 (1271), and Wáng Yīnglín 王應麟. CBDB id 27722.
