Zhuzhishan (1460–1526) was a renowned calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. His style name was Xizhe, and his sobriquets included Jishan and Zhizhisheng. He was from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Zhuzhishan's small regular script follows the styles of Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi, with rigorous structure. His cursive and semi-cursive scripts are lively and unrestrained, embodying the spirit of Huai Su and Huang Tingjian. Wen Zhengming, Wang Chong, and Zhuzhishan were the three pillars of the calligraphy scene during that era.
