Fu Shan (ca. 1607-ca. 1684), also known by his zi (courtesy names) Qingzhu (literally green bamboo) which he later changed to the homophonous Qingzhu (literally green master), and his hao (literary names) Zhuyi Daoren (The Vermilion-Clad Taoist), Shi Daoren (The Stone Taoist), and Selu, and other sobriquets. His ancestors resided in Datong before moving to Xinzhou; later, his great-grandfather relocated to Xicun, in Yangqu, Taiyuan (the northern suburbs of modern-day Taiyuan). Born into a distinguished family of scholar-officials, he was a versatile polymath renowned for his mastery of poetry, calligraphy, and painting. He was celebrated for his staunch moral integrity as a Ming loyalist, as well as for his profound philosophical depth and lofty aspirations. His artistic and scholarly contributions exerted a profound influence on later generations.
