Life
His father, Yun Ri, was a tribute student in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and was an important person in the society. He once worshipped the famous Neo-Confucianism scholar Liu Zongzhou as a teacher, and later became the Sect of Neo-Confucianism in Southeast China. Uncle Yun Xiang (Daosheng) is a famous landscape painter and created his own school. Yun Shouping was born in the sixth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1633). Influenced by his family's scholarly family, he was in Minhui since childhood. At the age of eight, he sang lotus flowers and surprised his elders. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Yun Shouping, who was only 12 years old, went with his father to Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, where he lived in the wind and slept. Later, he joined the anti-Qing team of Wang Qi in Jianning, Fujian. In the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648), the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Chen Jin, led 6, Qing troops to storm Jianning, and the 15-year-old Yun Shouping stuck to the isolated city. After the city fell, both my brother and I were taken to the Qing barracks. Chen Jin had no children, and his wife saw that Shou Ping was smart and handsome, so she adopted him. When Chen Jin was assassinated, Shou Ping met his father in Lingyin Temple when he returned from Fuling to the north. He stayed in the temple as a monk for several years. During this period, Yun Shouping studied and studied poetry from his father, painted after school to entertain his feelings, and made friends with the old people of Fuxing Society and the secret people who fought against the Qing Dynasty. Around the 11th year of Shunzhi (1654), Yun's father and son returned to their hometown. The experience of risking one's life in his youth can be said to have a decisive influence on his life. Since my uncle was in mourning, when he was young, he traveled with strange men and chivalrous men, often traveling thousands of miles, and suddenly he was like a life. Others were depressed and lost, but my uncle's spirit was as usual. (Gu Zuyu's Preface to the Collection of Ou Xiang Pavilion).
since then, he has studied hard, and he is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Yun Shouping advocated integrity and vowed not to take the imperial examination. In order to make a living, selling paintings and calligraphy does not bow to the powerful. During his painting career, Yun Shouping got to know Tang Yuzhao, Mo Yunqing, Zhuang Zichun, Yang Zhaolu, Da Zhongguang, Mao Xianshu, Zhu Kuangding and other celebrities in his Ou Xiang Pavilion, and they exchanged ideas with each other, especially with Wang Yi, and they traveled the mountains and rivers, had tea talks and learned painting skills, which was very speculative. Yun Shouping wrote a lot of inscriptions for Wang Yi's works, which made Wang Yi's works icing on the cake. "The Collection of Paintings in the Dynasty of China" said: If the stone valley is painted in a correct way, the origin of painting and coloring will be revealed, and the subtlety of the conception will be fully revealed.
in the 29th year of Kangxi (169), Yun Shouping ended his life of toil, poverty and desolation. His son Yun Nian was 5 years old, and his family was poor, so he couldn't mourn. Thanks to the help of Wang Yi, Dong Gui, Zou Xianji and other old friends, he was buried.
