王世贞 / Wang Shizhen
王世贞 / Wang Shizhen enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》95丨长平之战后秦国为什么没有灭了赵国（4） as a later reader invoked near the end of the 范雎 and 魏齐 branch. The episode uses his distance from the events to shift from moral immediacy toward historical detachment.
His function in the source is to soften the grip of ancient grievance. After the episode has shown revenge, friend protection, office abandonment, and later criticism, Wang Shizhen’s perspective helps turn the story into a meditation on changing fortune: Fan Ju and Wei Qi’s right and wrong matter less from far away than the way all such victories and injuries are eventually absorbed by time.
The page is source-scoped because the episode does not develop Wang Shizhen’s broader literary or historical career. It records him as one of the reception lenses alongside 李白, 王安石, and 荀悦.
