Zhu was influenced by his grandfather Xu Youzhen (1407 - 1472) and father-in-law Li Yingzhen (1431 - 1493), both of whom were adept at calligraphy. With his rich family collection, Zhu studied the works of the Wei and Jin dynasties in his middle age. His small regular script was inherited from that of Zhong You (151 - 230) and Wang Xizhi (303 - 361), while his cursive script was modelled after that of Huaisu (725 - 785) and Huang Tingjian (1045 - 1105). His love of freedom and adherence to the ancient masters are reflected in his calligraphy, which was based on the styles of the Jin and Tang masters, but also executed in an expressive and uninhibited manner. The poem on Encountering Sorrow in Running Script was written by Zhu in the prime of his life, and demonstrates his mastery of calligraphy to a high level.
