Zhu Zhishan's real name is Zhu Yunming, an ancient Changzhou native, born on June 146 1 day. Because of his strange appearance, he often said he was ugly, and his right hand had a finger, so he nicknamed himself Shan Zhi.
Although Zhu Zhishan was a famous calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, he was also known as the four gifted scholars in Wuzhong with Tang Yin, Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing, but his career was very bumpy when he was young.
19-year-old was a scholar in the examination, and took five provincial examinations before he got the post in the examination of 1492. Later, he took seven exams and failed. It was not until Zhu Zhishan knew that his son was a scholar in his previous science exam that he gave up the idea of continuing the exam.
As a last resort, Zhu Zhishan was elected as a juren, and in 15 14, he was appointed as the magistrate of Xingning County, Guangdong Province, and later he was promoted to Judge Yingtianfu. Shortly after serving as the judge of Yingtianfu, Zhu Zhishan accepted the illness and returned to his hometown, and died on1527+1October 28th.

One year before the Spring Festival, Zhu Zhishan went to Suzhou to visit his good friend Wen Zhiming. He heard that there is a local Mr. Chen Lao who is good at ripping off people. Everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. Zhu Zhishan decided to teach him a lesson.
He frowned and thought of the plan. On New Year's Eve, he wrote a couplet and entrusted it to Mr. Chen Lao. When Chen Laotou opened it, the first part said that it was unlucky to celebrate the Spring Festival every year, and the second part said that it was unlucky to have less money and more money all year round, and he suddenly became furious.
Later, when I asked, I realized that Zhu Zhishan had written this couplet. So, Chen Lao immediately sent someone to talk to Zhu Zhishan. I hope that after you come. Chen Laotou said angrily: Spring Festival couplets are auspicious. It's outrageous that you always write unlucky words to others.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhishan deliberately played dumb and said, How can this be unlucky? What I wrote was completely auspicious. If you don't believe me, we'll bet two hundred and twenty pieces of silver.
When they finished talking, Zhu Zhishan picked up the couplets and read aloud: Happy Spring Festival, no bad luck, less bad luck and more money all year round. After reading it, I smiled and left with two hundred and twenty pieces of silver.
