Zhu Yunming

Zhu Yunming

Zhu Yunming (from January 17, 1461 to January 28, 1527) was born on December 6, the fourth year of Tianshun and died on December 27, the fifth year of Jiajing. He was born in Changzhou (now Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province) and ridiculed himself for his peculiar appearance. He also named himself Zhishan because he had a finger on his right hand.

Zhu Yunming's career in the imperial examination was rather bumpy. He was a 19-year-old middle-aged scholar who took part in the local examination five times. He was elected in 1492, the fifth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, and failed to take part in the national examination seven times. Even his son, Zhu Xu, was a scholar in the previous section. So Zhu Yunming gave up the idea of imperial examination and elected an official. In the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), he was granted the title of magistrate of Xingning County in Guangdong Province. In the first year of Jiajing (1522), he was transferred to the post of general judge of Yingtian (now Nanjing) government. He soon returned home sick.

Zhu Yunming is good at poetry, especially calligraphy, and is famous at home and abroad. Together with Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing, he was known as the "four talents of Wuzhong". Together with Wen Zhengming and Wang Chong, they were the representatives of calligraphers in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In his early years, he learned from Zhao Mengfu and Chu suiliang, and pursued the "two kings" from Europe and Yu. He learned from Li Yong, Huang Tingjian and Mi Fu in cursive script. He had profound skills, especially in his later years. Li Zhimin, a professor at Peking University and the founder of introducing steles into grass, commented: "the wild grass of Zhu Zhishan is weaker than Xu and Su, but under the influence of the people of Song Dynasty, it has its own style.". His representative works include Taihu poetry volume, konghou quotation, Chibi Fu, etc. The six style book of poetry and Fu, the cursive book of Du Fu, the Nineteen Ancient Poems, the cursive book of Tang poetry and the cursive book of Han poetry are all handed down.
