Wang Zhihuan had two of his poems included in the famous poetry anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems.
Wang Zhihuan was once involved in a famous incident at a wine shop with fellow poets Gao Shi and Wang Changling, in which they agreed to compete as to which of their poems would be most sung by the professional entertainers who happened to show up. An actor sang one of Wang Changling's poems, then another actor sang one of Gao Shi's poems. Then another actor sang one of Wang Changling's songs, but Wang Zhihuan was considered the winner when the most beautiful of the female entertainers sang one of his songs (the one translated as "Beyond the Border" by Witter Bynner).[2]
