Abstract:The poem “Night Stay in Yunchu Cave, Yusi Mountain: Composed in the Style of Li Qianshi” by WANG Yang-ming, auctioned from Japan in 2025, is not found in various “Complete Works of Wang Yangming” from ancient to modern times in terms of poetic titles. It was created on June 15th, 1520, in the 15th year of the Ming Dynasty’s Zhengde era, as a response to the rhythm of his colleague and subordinate Li Su.

Eventually, he let go of the troubles of reality and devoted himself fully to his study of the world’s conscience. Focusing on his trip to Yusi Mountain, WANG Yang-ming composed five poems within one or two days, including “Night Stay in Yunchu Cave, Yusi Mountain: Composed in the Style of Li Qianshi”. These poems are in various styles, and it is not difficult to speculate on the abundance of works by other people in the same industry. Yusi Mountain Singing and Harmony is one of the examples of WANG Yang-ming’s lifelong practice of not giving up his “calligraphy”, which has certain indica
