Zhu Da's calligraphy works.

Ren Shan is good at calligraphy, learning Daling and Lu Gong (Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing) seal script, and can form his own unique style; The weeds written are very strange and imposing. I also like painting ink plantains, strange rocks, flowers, trees and bamboos, geese and ducks, which are not bound by the painter's rules. People get his paintings and compete to collect them, which makes them very valuable. He can't drink two liters, but he likes to drink. Poor scholars or ordinary people, butchers of livestock, wine sellers invited him to drink, and he went; Every time I go drinking, I always get drunk. When you are drunk, you will drip ink and not cherish (my work). Badashan people went to the monk's house outside the city many times, and the young monk struggled to pester him to paint, even pulling his sleeves and skirts, but Dashan people did not refuse. Some of his friends offered him money, but he didn't refuse. However, the dignitaries wanted to exchange a few taels of silver for an ink painting, but they could not get it; Someone brought silk, and he accepted it directly, saying, "I use it as the material for socks." Therefore, the paintings and calligraphy that dignitaries want are actually bought from poor scholars or monks, livestock butchers and wine sellers.
