Zhu Ziqing has 27 kinds of works with about 1.9 million words, including poetry, prose, literary criticism and academic research. Most of them were collected in the four volumes of Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing published by Kaiming Bookstore in 1953. In 1988, Jiangsu Education Publishing House collected, sorted out and published six volumes of Zhu Ziqing's Complete Works. Although Zhu Ziqing began to write new poems after the May 4th Movement, the Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddles and Lights published in 1923 showed his talent in prose creation. From then on, he devoted himself to prose creation and made remarkable achievements. The collection of essays "Back" published in 1928 made Zhu Ziqing a famous prose writer at that time.
Zhu Ziqing's prose is mainly narrative and lyrical essays. The theme of his works can be divided into three series: first, a group of essays with the main content of writing about social life and attacking the dark reality. The representative works are The Price of Life-Seventy cents, White People-God's Favorite, and The Massacre of Executive Government. Second, a group of essays represented by The Back, Children and Mourning Women, which mainly describe personal and family life, show the human relationship between father and son, husband and wife and friends, and have a strong human touch. Thirdly, a group of lyrical sketches based on natural scenery, such as Green, Spring, Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, are its representative works. The latter two kinds of essays are the best written by Zhu Ziqing, among which "The Back" and "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" are well-known masterpieces. His prose is simple and meticulous, clear and gloomy, famous for its refined language and beautiful writing, and full of true feelings.
Three generations have settled in Yangzhou, and they graduated from the No.8 Middle School in Jiangsu at that time and worked as a teacher in Yangzhou, so they call themselves "Yangzhou people". He is a famous writer and scholar in modern times. Zhu Ziqing's grandfather Zhu Zeyu, whose real name is Yu, changed his surname because he inherited Zhu's family. Being cautious, he served as a trial officer in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province for more than 1 years during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. My father's name is Hongjun, and his word is Xiaopo. He married Zhou and was a scholar. In the 27th year of Guangxu (191), Hongjun Zhu went to Shaobo Town, Yangzhou Prefecture, from the East China Sea. Two years later, the whole family moved to Yangzhou City and settled in Yangzhou.
Zhu Ziqing lived in Yangzhou for 13 years and spent his childhood and adolescence here. His feelings about this life in the ancient city are subtle and complicated. Probably life is too monotonous, so he later said that only a "thin shadow" is left in his childhood memory, and "it's like being washed by the flood, and it's so lonely that it's shocking!" However, in the long and tortuous journey of life, childhood is, after all, the first "post station".
Professor Zhu Ziqing, a famous essayist in China, suffered from a serious stomach trouble in his later years. His monthly salary was only enough to buy three bags of flour, which was not enough for 12 people in his family, and he had no money to treat the disease. At that time, the Kuomintang colluded with the United States to launch a civil war, and the United States implemented a policy of helping Japan. One day, Wu Han asked Zhu Ziqing to sign the manifesto of "protesting the American policy of helping Japan and refusing to receive American aid for flour". He resolutely signed it and said, "I would rather die of poverty and illness than accept such insulting charity." On August 12th of this year (1948), Zhu Ziqing was poor and died in Beijing. Before he died, he told his wife: "I signed the document rejecting American flour, and our family will not buy American flour rationed by the Kuomintang in the future." Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and would rather starve to death than receive "relief food" from the United States, which showed the backbone of China people. On the eve of Beijing's liberation, he died of stomach trouble.

Selected Works of Zhu Ziqing's Prose in 1983. Originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, I was born in Donghai, Jiangsu Province in 1898. I settled in Yangzhou with my family in 193, so I called myself "I am from Yangzhou". After graduating from high school in 1916, he was admitted to Peking University Preparatory Class, renamed Ziqing the following year, and admitted to the Philosophy Department of Peking University. After graduation, he taught in middle schools in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
His landscape prose occupies an important position in the prose creation of modern literature, and his use of vernacular Chinese to describe the landscape is the most attractive. For example, in "Green", the quality and color of plum rain pool Waterfall are delicately and deeply drawn by means of metaphor and contrast, and the writing is deliberately demanding, showing the superb skills of controlling the language and writing.
His consummate skill in writing is even more vivid in Moonlight on the Lotus Pond. For example, when describing the beauty of lotus in the moonlight, the author compares it to a pearl, a star in a blue sky and a beauty out of the bath; When describing the faint fragrance of lotus, the phrase "like a faint song floating from a distant building" is used, which compares the fragrance with singing and the lightness of fragrance with faintness. This synaesthesia technique is accurate and wonderful.
Zhu Ziqing also has another language style of prose, that is, using plain language to express sincere and deep feelings in simple narration. This kind of works can often show the author's integrity, enthusiasm and progressive heart, such as "The Price of Life-Seventy cents" and "White People-God's Favorite! All of them are masterpieces of this style, and the most influential one is Back. This essay washes away his old lead, and through his father's every move, the reader seems to see the author's bleak family and his father's deep love for his son.
Zhu Ziqing lived in Yangzhou for 13 years and spent his childhood and adolescence here. His feelings about this life in the ancient city are subtle and complicated. Probably life is too monotonous, so he later said that only a "thin shadow" is left in his childhood memory, and "it's like being washed by the flood, and it's so lonely that it's shocking!"

Yangzhou is a cultural city with beautiful scenery, with beautiful lakes and mountains and pleasant scenery. Many poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Dongpo and Ouyang Xiu, once lingered here, and wrote many magnificent poems. Yangzhou is also a heroic historical city. In the history of resisting foreign aggression, it has written countless brilliant chapters and left many touching stories. The beautiful scenery of the ancient city and the rich culture-advocating atmosphere have invisibly cultivated the temperament of young Zhu Ziqing, and cultivated his peaceful and upright character and interest in natural beauty. And the beautiful landscape of Yangzhou, like rain and dew, moistens his mind, nurtures his feelings, enriches his imagination, and makes his feelings full of poetry and painting forever. Yangzhou, a famous historical and cultural city, has a subtle and far-reaching influence on him.
