The best-known anecdote linking Wang Shizhen to the essayist Gui Youguang (1507–1571) is the exchange made famous by Qian Qianyi (1582–1664), in the brief biography of Gui Youguang that he included in his anthology Lie chao shi ji , . In this exchange, Gui implies that Wang is “impetuous” (wang ) and “mediocre” (yong ). Gui mentions no men of letters by name, but as Qian reports the story, Wang Shizhen was immediately recognized as the object of the criticism. Wang is said to have laughed and replied that he might be impetuous, but never mediocre
