Zhu Da's life history.

After his wife died, Zhu Da became a monk with his mother and brother, and went to Gengxiang Temple in Fengxin County to have his hair shaved. Since then, he changed his name to Brother Xue. At the age of 24, I became a mountain and a mountain donkey. In the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), Zhu Da was twenty-eight years old. He married his mother and went to Hongya Temple in Xinjian County, where he was ordained as a teacher, lived in the mountains and lectured, and followed more than a hundred people to learn the Dharma. According to research, Zhu Da lived with his mother and brother near Jinsheng Mansion outside the gate of Fuzhou, Nanchang, between the ages of 28 and 36. At that time, there were many teahouses and hotels, and working people lived together. Zhu Da lives in poverty, slovenly, and wanders here. I have always liked drinking, but I am not satisfied and often get drunk. I spent a lot of money and a dozen pictures when I was drunk. Monks, poor people, butchers and orphans asked for paintings, and they gave generously. When Zhu Da was 36 years old, he wanted to "find a self-existence" and found the Tianning concept in the suburbs of Nanchang. This year, he rebuilt Tianning Temple and renamed it "Qingyun Garden". The word "Qingyun" originated from the Taoist myth "Lv Chunyang rode down Qingyun". There is also a saying that "flying swords are inserted into the ground and laurel trees are planted to stipulate the old inheritance", which is also the origin of the existing Haitang laurel. In the 20th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 15), Dai, the top scholar, renamed "Pu" to show the spread of "Qingyun" and renamed it "Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area" from then on.

Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area was once a Taoist temple with a long history. According to legend, more than 2,500 years ago, Prince Jin (son) came here to make an alchemy and build a Dojo, which made him an immortal. In the Western Han Dynasty, Nanchang County ordered Mei Fu to abandon his official position here and later built Meixian Temple. In Jin Dynasty, Xu Xun Water Conservancy also opened a Dojo here, founded Jingmingjiao and changed its name to Taiji View. From then on, Taoism was formally formed, belonging to Jingmingdao. In the fifth year of Emperor Taizong (83 1), Zhou Xun, the secretariat of the Tang Dynasty, changed his name to "Taiyiguan". In the second year of Song Dynasty (1055), it was named Tianningguan. In the 18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (166 1), Zhu Da came here to see the remains of the sages and appreciate the mountains and rivers here, so he rebuilt the original Taoist temple and renamed it "Qingyun Garden". Since then, Zhu Da has become the founder of Qingyun Garden. Later generations also set up the memorial tablet of "Zhengkaishanzudao Lang Nuo". Liang Yuewen didn't. Zhu Zhenren from Badashan ".

From the age of 36 to 38, he traveled between Nanchang City and Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area, and the reconstruction of Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area was presided over by his brother Zhu. Zhu Da officially settled in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area, about thirty-nine to sixty-two. He has painstakingly managed this temple for more than twenty years. After being a Buddhist for 13 years, Zhu Da became the founder of a Taoist temple. His life of becoming a monk is not mainly religious belief, but to escape the political persecution of the Ming dynasty imperial clan by the Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty, so as to hide and preserve himself. At the age of 53 in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, Linchuan County magistrate Hu Wenming invited him to live with Rao Yupu, a monk, until he was a guest at Linchuan's official residence for many years. This made him very upset and angry, so he pretended to be crazy, tore his robe and walked back to Nanchang alone. More than a year later, he returned to Qingyunpu Scenic Resort Scenic Area, where he spent his "Flower Birthday". At the age of sixty-two, he stopped being an abbot and handed over the temple to his disciple Tu Ruoyu.

At the age of 60, Zhu Da began to paint with poems signed "Badashanren". When he pays for paintings, he often associates the words "Badashanren" as if they were words like "crying" and "laughing" to express his distress. His younger brother Zhu, named, is also a painter. His style is similar to Naixiong's, but he is also uninhibited. His calligraphy and painting is signed by Niu Shihui, and these three words are written together in cursive, which is very similar to the word "Do you want to worship the monarch", expressing the feeling of never giving in to Manchu. At the beginning of the signature, the two brothers took apart the Chinese characters, one is the word "Niu" and the other is the word "Eight". This anonymity is well-intentioned.

In his later years, Zhu Da lived in Zhu Bei Temple and Fujian Base in Nanchang. Lian Xue, a monk friend, is the abbot of Zhu Bei Temple and has a deep friendship with Zhu Da. Lian Xue is also good at calligraphy and has a stubborn personality. Later, he was angry with Fang E, the magistrate of Xinjian County, saying that he was "crazy" and was arrested and died in prison. After Lian Xue's death, Zhu Bei Temple was quickly destroyed. During this period, Zhu Da traveled and visited friends to paint, and there were many paintings. This is the heyday of Zhu Da's creation. Finally, on Chaowangzhou in the suburb of Nanchang, a straw house was built, named "Gege Grass". At that time, the poet Ye Dan once wrote a poem "Badashanren", describing his life here. "A room full of songs, rustling full of dust, Artemisia dark. Poetry and painting are in Zen, but the world has escaped fame, and the remnants of the mountain are still water. The old merchants in Qingmen are there, and the melons are scattered. "

It was in this small house that Zhu Da spent his lonely and poor old age until his death. Zhu Da was buried in Yaowan, a suburb of Nanchang, and went to Yingjiashan. However, when the tomb was moved after liberation, only some dead wood nails were found, but no bones were found, which may be his cenotaph. Niu Shihui's tomb is in South General Mountain, a scenic spot in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort. There is a jar of ashes in the grave. After liberation, it was moved and buried in Tuzhu Mountain, a scenic spot in Qingyunpu Scenic Resort. According to the records of Xinxian annals and Xishan annals, Zhu Da's tomb is located 30 miles northwest of the county seat, that is, in the Hou Ling area of Xishan Huangxi Commune. It is difficult to find the exact location of the grave.
