Wáng Cǎiwēi 王采薇 (1753–1776), zì Yùyīng 玉瑛, hào Chángjì 長離 (studio: Chángjìzhāi 長離閣), native of Yánghú 陽湖, Chángzhōu, Jiāngsū. Late-Qiánlóng woman poet, first wife of 孫星衍 Sūn Xīngyǎn. Wáng was a striking literary talent of the Chángzhōu philological-poetical circle; she died in childbirth in 1776 at the age of 23. Sūn never remarried. The surviving fragments of her work were salvaged by Sūn and circulated in manuscript; they were eventually printed in 1820 by Sūn’s younger brother Sūn Xīnghéng 孫星衡 as the Chángjìzhāi yíjí 長離閣遺集 (1 juan), appended to the SBCK Sūn Yuānrú shīwénjí KR4f0057. Wáng’s poetry combines a 袁枚 Yuán Méi–circle “talent-woman” lyric register with a Chángzhōu kǎozhèng density of allusion. Discussed in Susan Mann, Precious Records (Stanford, 1997) and Idema & Grant, The Red Brush (Harvard, 2004). CBDB id 54395.
