Zhu Zhizheng, also known by his hao (literary name) Sansong, was one of the "Three Zhus" of Jiading (nowadays Songjiang) in bamboo carving. The other two are his grandfather Zhu He and his father Zhu Ying. Zhu Zhizheng was skilled in painting landscape, bamboo, rock, and donkey. This painting depicts mountains in clouds with expressive brushstrokes. This is the only remaining painting of him. This album also includes works of the "Four Gentlemen of Jiading", namely Cheng Jiasui, Li Liufang, Lou Jian, which reflects the deeply rooted literary tradition of this region.
