was a famous literatus and calligrapher living during the Ming dynasty. He was born 1460 in Ch'ang-chou (today Jiangsu/Suzhou) from a feudal family of officials. He died in 1526 at the age of sixtysix.

His 'tzu' was Hsi-che, his 'hao' Chih-shan (see his calligraphy's signature) and Chih-chih-sheng.

Later on he became Magistrate of Hsing Ning County, Canton, and General Judge of Ying T'ien Prefecture, after that retiring for health reasons and returning to his home village.

Together with three other literati and calligraphers, Chu and his fellow artists were called 'The four talented masters of Wu'.

His last years of life Zhu Yunming spent in poverty.

His work has been handed down to our days e.g. in the collection 'Huai Hsing T'ang Chi'

Dei Mutterl ist ja fuàtgangà.

Sie ist ja fuàtgangà

und kommt nimmer heim

und lasst das klein Büaberle ganz allein.

Aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum

aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum.

Aba heidschi bum beidschi, schlaf süße.

Die Engelein lassen di grüße.

Sie lassen di grüßen

und lass'n di frag'n,

ob Du im Himmel spaziern willst fahr'n

Aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum

aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum.

Der Heidschi bum beidschi ist kommen

und hat mein Büaberl mitgnommen,

er hat es mitg'nommen und hat's nimmer 'bracht,

drum wünsch i mein‘m Büaberl a recht gute Nacht

Aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum

Aba heidschi bum beidschi, bum bum.
