Zhu Yunming (1460-1526), from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, was also known by his sobriquet, Xizhe, and his style name, Zhishan. From his youth, he had an extensive knowledge of various literary texts and was prolific in poetry. He was known more for his superb calligraphic style, however, demonstrating his strength in the free-flowing cursive (Ch., kuangca; J. kyôsô) script. Zhu Yunming is an outstanding representative of mid-Ming dynasty calligraphy. The text of the scroll is a poem by Li Po (701-62), composed of four stanzas of seven characters each.
