Shi Tao, whose real name is Zhu, whose name is Ruoji and fine print is Achang, changed his name to Yuanji, Chaoji and Yuanji after his hair was cut, calling himself a Momordica Charantia monk. When traveling in Nanjing, I got a long pole. Because of the number of branches, I don't want to be a long, blunt-rooted, mountain passenger, mountain monk, stone Taoist and a pavilion. There are many nicknames for him, such as Da Di Zi, Qing Xiang Legacy, Qing Xiang Chen Ren, Jingjiang Descendants, Qing Xiang Old Man, late number blind venerable person, zero Ding old man and so on.

He is the tenth grandson of Jingjiang Wang Zanyi, a Ming imperial clan, originally from Guilin, Guangxi, and a native of Quanzhou, Guangxi. He was born in the 9th, 14th and 15th years of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1636, 1641 and 1642), and died in the 44th, 49th and 57th years of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (175, 171 and 1718). After the Ming Dynasty's death, Zhu Hengjia claimed to be the supervisor of the country and was executed by Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, in Fuzhou. When Shi Tao was young, he was taken away by eunuchs and became a monk. His dharma name was Yuanji, the word Shi Tao, and his nickname was Dadizi, the old man in Qingxiang, the bitter gourd monk, and the blind venerable person. I once worshipped a famous monk as a teacher, and was fond of roaming. I visited Jingting Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places many times, and lived in Yangzhou in my later years. He not only suffered from the ruin of his country, but also knelt down to meet Emperor Kangxi twice, and had many contacts with the top figures of the Qing Dynasty, and his heart was full of contradictions.

Shi Tao claimed to have been born in the imperial clan. When he died in Ming Dynasty, he was only a three-year-old child. His becoming a monk was more of a political gesture, which was different from Jian Jiang's loneliness. Shi Tao's personality was full of dynamic factors, so he was in Buddhism but his heart was turned to the world of mortals. During Kangxi's southern tour, Shi Tao took the driver twice, and hailed for a long time, and took the initiative to go to Beijing to make friends with dignitaries, in an attempt to get ahead, but the dignitaries only regarded him as a monk who could paint, and did not care about him, so he failed. Therefore, he spent his life in a contradiction between lofty self-esteem and unwilling to be silent. Fortunately, he was extremely clever and skillfully vented this contradiction into his paintings, so his works are full of movement and tension, which is exactly what makes him different from ordinary people and why his works are magnificent.

The most famous person who ate bitter gourd in history was Shi Tao, a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Shi Tao is a pioneering grandmaster. He calls himself the Bitter Melon Monk, and his meals are inseparable from Bitter Melon. He even offered bitter gourd to his desk for worship. His feelings for bitter gourd are closely related to his experience and mood.

Shi Tao was born in the late Ming Dynasty. At the age of fifteen, the Ming Dynasty perished and his father was captured and killed by the Tang King. When the country was destroyed, Shi Tao was forced to flee to Quanzhou, Guangxi, where he had his hair cut as a monk. Later, he moved from place to place in Guangxi, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Hebei and other places, and settled in Yangzhou in his later years. He created a lot of exquisite works with inner contradictions and hidden pains. What people admire most is the unique style of adventure and beauty in his paintings, and the faint bitterness contained in his pen and ink. A rhyme very similar to bitter gourd. The strange nicknames used by the world are well-known and puzzling: bitter gourd monk, blind venerable person. What about bitter gourd? Shi Tao's eyes are bright, so how can he be called a blind person? There are many versions of legends. The more popular saying is: Bitter gourd, Pi Qing, Zhu Zhuhong, which means being in the Qing Dynasty and remembering Zhu Ming; Blind respect means blindness, which means losing the Ming Dynasty. Blind people, why don't they want to see again?

Looking at Shi Tao's paintings in his whole life, he has a very distinct personality and the flavor of the times, both in his masterpiece and in his sketches, and his views are unforgettable. If his works are divided into stages according to the time sequence and characteristics of his works, they can be roughly divided into three periods. The first period was the learning period of traditional techniques, that is, Shi Tao's time in Wuchang, when Shi Tao was in his early years, just catching up with the period of imitating Dong Qichang's style. At the beginning of Kangxi, Dong Qichang's painting style and theory had an important influence on China's painting circle, and the theory of "Southern and Northern Schools" was widely spread, with a clear tendency of "restraining the north and promoting the south". In terms of pen and ink, he strongly advocated "morale" and said: "Scholars should use the method of cursive script to paint. Judging from Shi Tao's early works, he was influenced by Dong Qichang's theory, but on the other hand, his personality reflected in his early works was naturally revealed in the pen and ink from the very beginning. He should not only inherit the tradition, but also take "nature as a teacher" and "I use my method". Shi Tao's talent is fully developed in the dialectical understanding of the relationship between the two.

Ding You (1657) in the 14th year of Shunzhi, Shi Tao, who was 16 years old, showed his talent in painting. The Flower Book of Landscape Figures was one of the earliest works of Shi Tao's department. One page of this book shows: in the vast river near the mountain, a leaf boat is rippling by waves, and a figure sitting in the boat is reading Li Sao. At the bottom of the picture is an inscription: "Falling wood is cold and autumn is high, and the wave boat reads"
