Wang Xiaodeng, "Shanshui Cave Fragments Album", Xingcao, 24.4 x 40.2 centimeters, collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Wang Xideng was born on July 22, 1535, in the fourteenth year of Jiajing. When he was young, he moved with his father's family to Cheung Chau, and the family was very wealthy. When he was young, Wang Xideng was stubborn, but he was brilliant, "four years old can take advantage of the right; five years old can recite poems; six and seven years old can be used to write books; nine years old can give five or seven words", when he read "Primary School", the seniors studied the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", he was curious to eavesdrop, and did not want to be able to recite backwards like a stream in the near future; when he saw others doing bus writing, he also learned to write.
A passing Mr. Tu was very surprised when he found out: "This colt is sweaty, and if he is not on the throne", he ran to Wang Xideng's home to tell his father about this matter, and his father began to ask Mr. Private School to teach him "Mao Poems", not wanting Wang Xundeng to memorize five thousand words a day. With his ingenuity, he was admitted to the show talent in the year of the general corner. Even the celebrities at that time, such as Xue Yingxu, Wu Zhong, Chen Chongqing, and other celebrities, also broke down and called him Xiaoyou, and Wang Xideng became one of the local celebrities with his own cleverness at a young age.
In the winter of the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), it was sunny after the snow. At Tiger Hill, twenty-year-old Wang Xideng accompanied Wen Zhengming, who was already eighty-six years old, to enjoy the snow. After returning home from China, Wang Xideng composed two poems, "Winter Zhaiju Feng Huai Wen Waiting for Mr. Zhao" and "Let Go of the Boat in the Snow on the Day of Man Day and Send Mr. Wen Waiting for Zhao" to commemorate this travel experience. Since then, Wang Xideng's beautiful poems have been appreciated by Wen Zhengming, and under the support of Wen Zhengming, they have gradually emerged in Wumen.
