He passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1492), and failed the imperial examination seven times. Even his son Zhu Xu passed the imperial examination in the previous exam, so Zhu Yunming lost his idea of imperial examinations and selected an official position as an official.

Character evaluation:
Ming Dynasty Gu Lin : (Zhu Yunming) The calligraphy was learned from "Jijiu" to catch Yu and Zhao, and it has been structured for thousands of years. If Xi and Xian are truly practicing, Huaisu and are cursive, and they are particularly wonderful in writing. Once the book is written, I don’t know who will be placed on the left.
Ming Dynasty Wang Shizhen : Wu Zhongru, Dr. Xu, Changgu's poem, and Jingzhao Xizhe's calligraphy, and Shenshanren's paintings are known as the three great masters of the country.
Sun Yishen of the Qing Dynasty: Xiangguang Layman said that Jingzhao's calligraphy is like cotton wrapped in iron, like seals and inks, and this work is almost impossible. However, Gu Huayu and Wen Zhengzhong both said that they were wild in their later years, which looked like Xu Wugong, which was probably the late state.
Li Zhimin: " Zhuzhishan 's crazy cursive skills are weaker than Xu and Su, but under the influence of the Song people, they form their own style."
Anecdotes and allusions:
Tang Bohu Kao Zhuzhishan
Tang Bohu and Zhuzhishan are close friends. The two often come and go, and there is no need to inform them when they are separated. One day, Zhu Zhishan had just stepped into Tang Bohu's study and was about to taste tea and guess riddles. Tang Bohu smiled and said, "I happened to have done 4 riddles at this time. If you can't guess it, I won't accept it!" After saying that, he slowly chanted the riddle: "The words are green and green, and the two of them talk about the reason; three of them have no horns, and there is one among the plants and trees."
After a moment, Zhu Zhishan broke the mystery. He sat down calmly and said, "Then pour tea!"
Zhu Zhishan broke the banquet
Zhu Zhishan was humorous by nature and was in a greedy cup. One day, Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming concealed Zhu Zhishan and hid in the same place to drink. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhishan learned about it and rushed there. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "It's good to eat today, so I won't invite you to come." After that, he sat down and wanted to have a drink. Tang Bohu blinked at Wen Zhengming, and then said to Zhu Zhishan: "Today we have a rule to recite a poem as a riddle, and call an insect name, otherwise we are not allowed to eat it." Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, "Okay, you can talk first." Tang Bohu chanted, "The dishes are fragrant and the old wine is mellow. If you don't call Zilai, you are this king. If you don't call Zilai, you will be this king. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy. If you don't call Zilai, you will be disgusted. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy. If you don't call Zilai, you will be disgusted. If you don't call Zilai, you will be greedy."
Uninvited guest Zhu Zhishan heard this and knew that they were making fun of themselves as they were eating for free , but pretended not to understand, so he also recited a poem: "It was a coincidence, it was time to go, so I advised you not to blame the food on the plate. This man is full of talent, so where can he come from if he doesn't let food and drink? "After singing, the three of them looked at each other and laughed happily, and drank happily, and they were drunk until they were drunk.
Diligent and simple
Zhuzhishan took office as the magistrate of Xingning Xingning magistrate, and immediately visited privately and understood the people's conditions. Xingning was remote and barren, and Zhuzhishan went to the villages and households to visit privately, and specially selected farmers with barren land and slanted huts. When they learned that the people had three meals a day, they were sad, and they immediately promised to reduce taxes. During their tenure in Zhuzhishan for more than five years, the lives of the people in Xingning improved greatly. Many families could have enough food and clothing, but they were reduced and suspended by the court for their poor tax payment: "In the late winter of the year, because of their poor urging for raising taxes, the autumn tax was robbed and the salary was robbed. "So, Zhuzhishan has a famous line of saying "When you take the money and say that you have a generation of farming." "Under the County Zhai Early": "The county has not been resigned to the government, and I wear clothes to rush to the miasma and listen to the rooster crowing. The poem "Happy" has always been proud and knowing that he has a lot of time. When he is old, he dares to calm down." This shows his diligence in political affairs. Therefore, although the court has blamed Zhu Yunming for his poor tutoring the quota, he still praised him for his diligence in political affairs and integrity. With the results of outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to the dictatorship of Yingtianfu, which is known as the magistrate of the world.
listen to lawsuits and decisions
Xingning is located in a remote place, "the people are still criticized, and the lawsuit is at noon." The people are not in good manner, and there are many neighborhood disputes caused by trivial matters: "Anyone who has something to do, both of them think they are straightforward and refuses to leave their families and villages. The judgment was reasonable, but he did not accept it immediately. After Zhu Zhishan took office, he was diligent in government affairs, obtained the law in decision-making, and clearly defined rewards and punishments. He cracked down on the unscrupulous people, so that he could "scramble and cleverly restrain his traces." Luo Xian, a local sage in Xingning in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, compiled the "Xingning Township Chronicles", also called Xu Zhu Zhishan "the Gong Yuan and his wife wrote poems, and he was so moist, and he was so prosperous." It can be seen that his talent in governance.

"The Gong (Yunming) sets up a strategy to arrest him Once more than 30 generations were captured, the drums were not warned. In the seventh year of Zhengde (1512), Zhang Fanyu, the first bandits of Damao Mountain in Zhangnan, gathered thousands of parties to rob the villages and captured the counties of Ninghua and Shicheng. The court ordered Zhou Nan to go to suppress the peace. In the tenth year of Zhengde (1515), the rebellion of Damao Mountain rebelled, Zhu Zhishan personally led his troops to quell the rebellion, beheaded his leader, and "annihilated more than 40 of his party", and from then on, the territory was peaceful.

Zhu Zhishan was moved by the unrest of the Xingning academic style, "and went to the school palace in person to join the students, and gave the class trial explanation. To the south of the ridge, it is erect and erect towards the wind. "After his support and encouragement, Zhang Tianfu was appointed as the magistrate of Liuyang County, Hunan. There were also many other rewards: "Bingzi and Jimao were given the provincial examinations, and the Duke all participated in the Dian Wenheng , and the prosperity of the scholars was due to their hard work. "Xingning culture and education were thus flourishing. Xianfeng " Xingning County Chronicles " "Learning quota" record: "The county school quota was not tested before the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen magistrate Liu Xizuo The cultural heritage of Xingning is growing more and more. Shenqing studied the constitution Wei Huanchu, and was promoted to Xingning to Zhongxian. The quota was held for the second examination of the year, and each enrolled thirty students were admitted. This dynasty has two exams for the year, and each enrolled twelve students were admitted. In the second year of Yongzheng, the twelve scholars in the world were ordered to investigate the most prosperous prefectures and counties, and the titles were promoted to the broader quota. In the third year, the magistrate Wang Shidanshen studied Xianhui Shiqi and was promoted to Xingning to a university. ”
