Born at Ruiyun Tower in Yuyao, Wang Shouren declared to his tutor at age eleven that the highest pursuit in life is learning to become a sage.

《明史·王守仁传》:“过广信,谒娄谅,语以圣人可学而至,遂深契之。”History of Ming: "Passing through Guangxin, he visited Lou Liang, who taught that sagehood can be learned, striking a deep chord in him."
