AB - Li Panlong (1514~1570) and Wang Shizhen (1526~1590) are considered leading figures of the Later Seven Masters, a literary group that advocated for the restoration of classical literary principles in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. In the early stages, Li Panlong led the literary movement of the Later Seven Masters, but after his death, Wang Shizhen dominated the literary scene for the next 20 years. Although Li Panlong was twelve years older than Wang Shizhen, he maintained a close relationship with the young and intelligent Wang, who came from an esteemed scholarly family, treating him with great generosity. In return, Wang Shizhen admired and followed Li Panlong, who was highly regarded for his poetry and prose.
Li Panlong passed the imperial examination as a jinshi in the 23rd year of the Jiajing reign (1544) at the age of 31, while Wang Shizhen attained the jinshi degree three years later, in the 26th year of Jiajing (1547), at the age of 22. The two men, along with fellow newly appointed officials in the Ministry of Justice—such as Zong Chen (1525~ 1560), Liang Youyu (1521~1554), Xu Zhongxing (1517~1578), and Wu Guolun (1524~1593)—formed literary group where they exchanged ideas on poetry, prose, bureaucratic life, and personal struggles.
Although Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen sometimes worked in the same location and at other times lived apart due to their respective retirements, they maintained their friendship through letters and poetic exchanges. Their deep bond lasted for over 20 years until Li Panlong's death in the 4th year of the Longqing reign (1570). After Li Panlong's passing, Wang Shizhen wrote The Biography of Li Yulin (Li Yulin Xiansheng Zhuan) and composed a 120-rhyme elegy, Crying for Li Yulin (Ku Li Yulin), expressing his profound grief.
